Face to face.
From anywhere.
Apple devices make staying connected between visits simple and seamless. Advanced sensors and built-in features give care teams powerful insights into patient health and encourage patients to lead healthier lives. With Apple, providers get a more complete picture of patient health and can offer more personalized care.
Keep patients close.
And their progress closer.
Corrie Health app helps lower readmission rates. With the Corrie Health app, care teams can monitor cardio recovery after a heart attack and deliver evidence-based guidelines and education for patients. The platform reduced the chance of readmission to 6.5% — significantly lower than the U.S. standard.*
Connect with patients. Mac makes it easy for providers to conduct remote teleheath visits and deliver care seamlessly through Hyperspace on Mac.
At-home treatment plans. Patients can tap into the familiar, easy interface of their Apple devices to follow personalized treatment plans you create at home.
Remote observation. Patients can share their health data from their iPhone and Apple Watch through the Health app with their care teams. This allows you to easily and remotely monitor conditions within the patient’s chart in your electronic medical records.
Be alerted when things change. Providers can receive notifications for any significant changes, such as high heart rate or irregular rhythm notifications, as well as trends like increasing blood pressure readings for possible intervention.
Epic’s MyChart app helps providers monitor chronic conditions. The medical team at Ochsner Digital Medicine uses MyChart, HealthKit, and medical devices like blood pressure cuffs to monitor patients with hypertension and diabetes. Patients can track their blood pressure and blood sugar levels from home and their care teams can make adjustments to their care plan with data coming directly to the patient’s electronic medical record.
Patient data is clearer than ever. Access up-to-date health data in an easy-to-read format from within your organization’s EHR system.
Complement your patient portal. The Health app can use the same login credentials supported by your organization, which makes authentication simple and has the potential to drive awareness and adoption of your patient portal.
Records are easier to search. View a timeline of your patient’s health history that includes lab results, immunizations, and medications, even if the data is from different health institutions.
Built with industry standards. Apple uses the SMART on FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard. Downloadable data types include allergies, conditions, immunizations, lab results, medications, procedures, and vitals. Data types for sharing with providers include exercise minutes, heart rate, blood pressure, lab results, immunizations, and more.
Share data securely. When your patients share Health app data with a provider, it’s encrypted in transit and at rest, and Apple can't access or view any data stored in connection with the provider sharing data.
Seamless integration with our EHR makes it easy for our caregivers to view, understand, and incorporate relevant information into the patient record.

Or several.
Heart Rate app. Apple Watch checks for unusually high or low heart rate and helps patients identify situations that may warrant further evaluation. If a patient’s heart rate is above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm while they appear to have been inactive for 10 minutes, they will receive a notification. Patients can adjust the threshold bpm or turn these notifications on or off. All heart rate notifications — along with date, time, and heart rate — can be viewed in the Health app on iPhone.
I’m inspired by the life-saving potential of technology and applaud Apple’s innovation and commitment to health. Capturing meaningful data about a person’s heart in real time is changing the way we practice medicine.
Dr. Ivor J. Benjamin, FAHA
Past President of the American Heart Association
ECG app. The ECG app uses an electrical heart sensor on Apple Watch to record an electrocardiogram of the heart to help patients identify signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib). Patients can record a single-lead electrocardiogram from their wrist in the moment they are experiencing symptoms like a rapid or skipped heartbeat. They can also make note of symptoms, and easily share the ECG result with their doctors.
Trace your AFib history. If you’ve been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, AFib History on Apple Watch can estimate how frequently your heart is in AFib. You can also view how lifestyle factors like exercise and sleep may influence the condition — and create a PDF of your AFib History to share with your care team.
Fall Detection. The advanced accelerometer and gyroscope in Apple Watch use motion sensors to detect hard falls and automatically notify emergency services and emergency contacts if the person is immobile for about one minute.
Crash Detection. Apple Watch uses its accelerometer, gyroscope, sensors, and advanced motion algorithms to detect severe car crashes. It automatically calls emergency services and alerts emergency contacts if a crash is detected and the person is unconscious or unable to reach their iPhone.
Emergency SOS app. Apple Watch helps people easily call for help and alert emergency contacts if they need to. When someone makes an Emergency SOS call, it allows first responders to access real-time location data from iPhone and Apple Watch to quickly locate them when they need help.
Medical ID. When people set up Medical ID in the Health app, first responders can access a user’s critical health information — like allergies and medical conditions — from the Lock Screen of iPhone or the Home Screen of Apple Watch. They can also see names and contact information of the user’s designated emergency contacts.
Breathing disturbances. Apple Watch uses an accelerometer to look for breathing disturbances while someone is sleeping. Breathing disturbances are fairly common, and people typically experience a few disturbances a night. One’s alcohol intake, upper respiratory illnesses, and even some medications can lead to elevated breathing disturbances.
Sleep apnea. If a patient consistently experiences elevated breathing disturbances over a 30-day period, they receive a notification, letting them know that they may have sleep apnea.
Notifications. If they receive a notification, patients can see when sleep apnea may have occurred, and get information on the importance of speaking with their healthcare provider about it — along with a detailed report to support that conversation. And all of these insights are secured in the Health app.
A clinical-grade Hearing Aid. AirPods Pro 2 now provide an easy-to-use, clinical-grade Hearing Aid capability for patients with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. The Hearing Aid feature makes adjustments that improve the clarity of nearby voices and sounds, and patients can customize settings — like amplification, balance, and tone — to their needs.
Hearing tests from home. When paired with an iPhone or iPad, AirPods Pro 2 offer a scientifically validated Hearing Test. Patients can test their hearing in the comfort of their home in about five minutes and receive easy-to-understand results and insights. AirPods Pro 2 also provide active Hearing Protection across listening modes to help prevent exposure to loud environmental noise.
Private and secure. All Hearing Test data is stored in the Health app on a patient’s device. They can retake the test whenever they want, monitor their hearing over time, download their test results, and read helpful articles about hearing health.
Their health, on track.
Apple Watch is the everyday fitness companion. Apple Watch tracks and monitors 18 different areas of health and fitness, from heart health to sleep trends, daily steps, cycle tracking, and more. Patients get a complete picture of their health and inspiration to develop positive habits — no matter their fitness level or goal.
Workout app. Advanced motion sensors track performance data across a wide range of modalities and automatically detect popular activities like walking, running, cycling, swimming, and more. People also have access to advanced metrics and powerful training experiences like Heart Rate Zones and Custom Workouts.
Activity rings. The Activity app tracks fitness goals and encourages patients to close their rings every day. People can easily pause and adjust their goals for each day of the week.
Apple Fitness+. With studio-style workouts and meditations, real-time onscreen metrics, and audio-guided fitness experiences, Apple Fitness+ helps people train their body and mind like never before. It’s designed for all levels, ages, and experience.
Lasting change. A study by the RAND Corporation showed that 34% of participants using Apple Watch increased their activity level by an average of 4.8 days per month and experienced behavior changes that continued over 24 months.
150+ types of data. From sleep tracking to daily steps, heart rate, and more, the Health app serves up interactive charts, accessible explanations, and articles that make understanding complex health metrics easy.
Trends. The Health app creates trend analysis reports for 20 types of data, from resting heart rate to sleep to cardio fitness — and highlights and alerts patients to significant changes over time.
State of mind logging. Patients can log emotions and daily moods using the Health app’s engaging visual selector, and see correlations with lifestyle factors like time spent in daylight, sleep, exercise, and mindful minutes.
Sleep tracking. Apple Watch features an accelerometer — a sensor that measures micromovements — to estimate time spent in bed and time spent asleep, and even detect when patients are in Core, REM, or Deep sleep, as well as when they might’ve woken up.
Cycle Tracking. Patients can log their period, record symptoms, and track cycle factors like lactation. It can also help predict when their next period or fertile window will begin, as well as estimate when they likely ovulated.
Vital metrics. The Vitals app helps people identify changes in their daily health status. Patients can quickly see their key overnight health metrics right on their wrists — including heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, and sleep duration.
A central view. The Health app lets patients share their overall health and medical history with their providers by organizing and storing more than 150 different types of health data and health records on their iPhone or iPad.
Patients can now collate health records from different medical providers and can show that information to their caregivers and care teams right from their iPhone. This effectively makes the patient a custodian of their own health data.

Health records. Patients can access their health records — including medications records, immunizations, clinical notes, lab results, and more — all in the Health app. Apple works with EHR vendors at over 9,000 institutions to make it easy for patients to aggregate their records from multiple institutions and download a PDF to share with a provider, right from the app.
Privacy. Your patients are in complete control of their data. Patients can decide which information is in the Health app, which apps can access their data, and who they share their data with. Apple uses a direct, encrypted connection between the person’s iPhone and the APIs provided by the health system or clinic to access their health records. When your patients share Health app data with a provider, the data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Apple cannot access or view any of it.
