engaging experiences that can spark behavioral
changes and help users get fit.
Of course, the key to these innovations is
tracking. Apple’s Health and Activity apps are
now a major part of its success story, but we’ll
increasingly need our devices to connect to
other devices and service providers to offer
them access to a 360-view of our health. Being
able to connect your health and activity data to
an insurance provider or a doctor, for example,
could help to manage long-term conditions
such as diabetes or reduce health insurance
premiums, and connecting our tracking to
gym and diet apps can empower us to make
better decisions. With HealthKit, Apple is
already well on its way to doing this - but gyms,
insurance providers and healthcare facilities
must take advantage of the APIs and build for
the next generation.
With iPhone and Apple Watch, Apple has built
a connected world where we can monitor our
fitness and become healthier, happier people.
