Just a quick one, I watch your vids every time, a quick word about the Fall Detection feature , please enable, last week I was struck by a bus, 8 broken ribs and a gaping whole in the rear of my skull. The fall detection feature triggered 10 seconds after bus hit me and knocked me unconscious, my watch called emergency services and let don’t wife and daughter know I had an incident. I believe this saved my life due to emergency services being there in 3 minutes. Thanks you for videos they are invaluable but I must point this out in a real time benefit.

I use the Health app on my iPhone for a number of things. I have to monitor my blood oxygen and blood pressure. I also use the ECG option regularly also. I was a participant in a AFIB research group of which I received a free Apple watch. The catch was I had to give them access to the health app and commit to 2 years. For those of us that are of a certain age, this app is great. Thank you for this helpful video. It was concise and informative. ❤

Excellent video. As a 69 yr old retiree with some cardiac history, I've been using Health app for a few years now. My cardiologist recommended it when he noticed I wore an Apple Watch. I use it mostly for tracking my medications, as well as activity and sleep, which come from the watch. I also check in occasionally in the Heart section. My advice to anyone just starting, especially if older, is to go slowly. Don't add more than one section at a time. Get used to one thing for a week or two before adding another to your routine.

For me, this was the MOST informative video that you have produced this year. I had no idea of the detail and extensive functionality of the health app. Thank you very much for all of the "drilll-down" detail. I do actually use and like the handwashing feature and miss it while washing my hands when my watch is charging. I also use the fall detection, though I will admit there have been a few times when the watch thought I had fallen, when I had just moved my fist and wrist very rapidly. Looking forward to your next video! Cheers

I went Into Afib about 9 months ago. My Apple Watch Ultra told me so. I felt like I was having a heart attack without the pressure on my chest. So the wife called 911. The EMT said my Apple Watch was probably wrong. Well he was wrong and said wow my heart rate was over 200. And I wasn’t doing anything at the time. So I was rushed to the hospital. Spent two days and now on blood thinners. But yes I always wear my Apple Watch and will be updating to the new one this year. Thank you for the video very informative.

The critical alert set for my medications has saved me a couple of times from going out without taking my medications. As you get older it is an excellent tool to use.

The health app for medications is awesome

@palmercolson7037 17 дней назад

Very true. I once used reminders to prompt me to take medications, but that seemed to get confused occasionally and didn't have the option of skipping the medication for one day and noting it.

Hi Tom, as always a fantastic video. I use the Health app a lot to log meds, sleep data, blood glucose levels etc and I love how easy it is to use. I love the syncing between the Watch/iPhone and iPad. Thank you I found this video incredibly useful to learn more tips.

@stevewheeler6672 17 дней назад

I've been using the Health app for a few years to track my activity. I bought an Apple Watch a few years ago to track heart rate and oxygenation. Fall detection is, for me, hit or miss. It's caught the times I've fallen or been knocked over, but it's also triggered spuriously, including once when I was breaking down cardboard boxes to go into the recycle bin. I was unaware of symptom tracking, which sounds like a feature I should start making use of. I usually only see my doctor for my yearly checkup, but having a "place" in the app to save that info is more convenient than keeping notes elsewhere.

If you wear corrective lenses, you can store your vision prescription in the Body Measurements section of the Health app. You can also store a copy of the paper prescription and hand-enter the various measurements listed. This is handy should you need optical inserts for an Apple Vision Pro. You reference this data when ordering the inserts. If you have an AVP and optical inserts, a QR code is provided with the inserts, which you use to supply the information concerning the inserts' specs to the AVP. That information, including the QR code, is also stored in this section of the Health app. This comes in handy if you need to recalibrate your AVP; when setting up the vision calibration, you can look at the QR code on your phone rather than dig out the card that came with the inserts.

@Factsheet8043 17 дней назад

I wear contact lenses and always forget which one number is for my right eye and which is for my left eye. I used to go through my files to find my receipt for my eye exam and that took a while to find. But once I put the info in the health app it has saved me so much time every time I change out my contacts

Interesting video thanks, I have recently got myself a new phone and watch so just started using this more than I did having previously used it to remind me to take meds only. Hopefully Im getting a lot more use from this and the new devices.

@PeachyNanaUK 17 дней назад

I was already using it and I find it pretty useful to keep an eye on my exercise. I also do a bit of VR exercise on the quest 3 and at the last release you could enable syncing data with it if you were using an exercise app. But I found that it double recorded stuff even logging when I was playing a board game and not actually exercising . I don’t know which end is wrong. I suspect the Quest 3. I’ve turned it off for now.

@ritagraham6703 18 дней назад

@farrapo2295 9 дней назад

When I first started using the Health app. I had a hard time getting the VO2 Max reading to work (Browse, Heart, Cardio Fitness). It turned out the first time you had to initiate it by turning off Bluetooth, register an outside walk, return, and reconnect BT. After that it worked fine every time. But when I got a new iPhone 15 Pro last fall it no longer worked despite loading all settings phone to phone. Trying the first time use trick didn’t work either. I’d love to know to make it work again on the new phone.

@angelb63 16 дней назад

I this was very informative . wear my apple watch every day and trends are not available. Apple support says to track at least 180 days - and I have way more than that. Anyone have any suggestions?

@accentontheoff 18 дней назад

Greetings and thanks for this. This is perhaps kind of of off topic, but could you recommend a round shaped watch that fits in reasonably well with the Apple ecosystem, including the Health app. The Apple Watch is a beast and I have an old one, but for me (personal preference, of course) watches just need to be round 😊

@alanpeters3378 15 дней назад

@rontaylor2493 13 дней назад

Great tutorial on how to use the app. Can you do a follow up video sometime about use cases for the app? In other words, what can the app do for me with all my data? Can it give suggestions for what I should/shouldn’t do with regard to my health? It’s nice to look at my data, but it would be better to have recommendations from the app with my data. Hope this makes sense. Thanks

@ProperHonestTech 13 дней назад

The app can't do that right now. It's been long-rumoured that this will become part of the Apple Intelligence rollout, where AI will use the data to make those kind of suggestions to you. Time will tell.

@barbaraputnam7035 2 дня назад

15:57 Thank you - very helpful. One irritation from me is the medication section of this app is not IMHO up to the quality expected from Apple. I can't rely on it for meds due to the extremely poor reminder sound and the critical reminder that only sounds once - and that's proven unhelpful for my particular need. Also I've not been able to log meds from my watch despite the tap feature that appears. Loved the video though🎉

@aloysiussnailchaser272 17 дней назад

With all the data that the Health app manages I’m quite surprised there’s nothing related to stools. At the very least I’d expect to be able to log stool movements although I expect a representation of the Bristol Stool Scale en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_stool_scale would be a bit over the top. Regularity of stool movements is a good indicator of bowel health.

@vidform 17 дней назад

Can we input water intake? When adding medication, can we add the actual brand name of the med or supplement? Would turning on fall detection be beneficial if starting to train in boxing or martial arts like Brazilian jiu-jitsu (where you’re constantly on the ground)? Excellent video!

@kpinthebubble 4 дня назад

@@vidform You can input water! You can find it under the Nutrition section. I prefer to keep up with that as well. Also, you can add brand names and even take a photo of the medication you’re using to find it faster. As for your last question, I don’t have any experience with those two sports, but it may be helpful to turn off Fall Detection in your case.

I like the app for the most part. The only thing that drives me cuckoo banana, is that because I Freedive and I can’t wear my Apple Watch in the water (Ok, I know the Ultra technically can be used at depth, but it’s a terrible Freedive computer), my watch keeps thinking I don’t do a lot of exercise, so I often get condescending remarks from my watch like, “you’ve got this, just a 15 minute brisk….” I get that it’s not an easy thing to solve though, just venting that my watch thinks I’m lazy. 😅

You didn't mention cycle tracking, which I'm sure won't have gone unnoticed by women. You're an admittedly exhausted dad of twins, but I would have thought you'd be right on to health topics such as menstruation and pregnancy.

@ProperHonestTech 17 дней назад

I also didn’t show hearing, heart, mobility, respiratory… the video is long, I had to draw a line somewhere. I tried to cover more generic things that the wider audience would be interested in, whilst showing people where to go for the specific info they need (cycle tracking was shown here). My intention was to include all, rather than exclude anyone, despite what your comment might suggest.
