Take control of your health!

Advanced trend analysis lets you see how health metrics like heart rate, blood glucose, and respiratory rate change over time. And you can get notifications when new trends are identified.

Checking Your Mental Health

Your mental health is as important as your physical health, and even contributes to it. Now you can reflect on your state of mind to help build emotional awareness and resilience.

 

Record Your Medical Records and Stay Informed

Take standardized mental health assessments, often used by doctors to answer a series of questions about how you're feeling, then see your current risk of depression or anxiety. This will help you figure out whether you need to talk to your doctor, and you'll have a PDF of the results to share. You'll also have access to crisis resources and articles.

 

Hearing Health Check

With your AirPods, you can test your hearing in five minutes and use hearing aid functionality to amplify the sounds you need. The active hearing protection feature helps prevent exposure to loud ambient noise in all listening modes.

 

 

Better understand your daily health

The Vitals app on Apple Watch puts your overnight health data in one convenient place. So you'll always know at a glance how your metrics stack up and when you need to pay more attention to your body.

 

Check your sleep quality

Using Apple Watch sensors, you can gain deeper insight into how much time you spend in the three stages of sleep: REM, Core, and Deep sleep.

 

See the symptoms of sleep apnea

Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing repeatedly stops, disrupting sleep. If left untreated, it can lead to high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and heart problems. Now, you can find out if your breathing data shows consistent signs of sleep apnea.

 

Eye Health Check and Sunlight Time

Myopia usually starts in childhood and is on the rise. But one way you can help reduce the risk is to get your child to spend at least 80 to 120 minutes a day outdoors. The Apple Watch can measure daylight time using the ambient light sensor. The Apple Watch for Kids series can measure daylight time with a child's Apple Watch, even if the child doesn't have an iPhone, and with Health Sharing, parents can track it.

 

A Closer Look at Screen Distance

Looking at something like a device or a book up close for long periods of time can also increase the risk of nearsightedness. Using the same TrueDepth camera that powers Face ID on iPad and iPhone, the Screen Distance feature in Screen Time can encourage your child to move their phone further away.
