Why do I want apps for those devices when the iPhone is the centre of the Apple universe? Well, because it's the least efficient screen for examining the kind of data that the Health app collects. Where are the Health apps for iPad and Mac? Less pies, more charts
To be fair, it does all this, but with one glaring omission. Then, armed with all that data, I could build a greater understanding of the adjustments to my lifestyle that would bring about better results. Wear my Watch all day, have it analyse my standing, sitting, walking and sleeping, all while keeping an eye-like sensor on the regularity of my heartbeat and blood oxygen levels. While much of this is a bit too much information for me, it did illustrate how seeing progress (or lack thereof) when it comes to exercise, diet and sleep could truly be beneficial for keeping myself in shape and avoiding any of the classic 'silent killers' that pursue those who dare to arrive at middle age without a BMI of 20.Īpple Health seemed like the perfect solution. Nothing too serious, but it did lead me to look into the idea of the Quantified Self, a movement of enthusiasts that track loads of behavioural and health details about themselves so they can spot the early onset of illness and generally improve their standard of health and fitness. I've struggled for a while now with a variety of low-level ailments and injuries. At least, it would if it wasn't hamstrung by only being available on the smallest displays Apple has to offer.
When paired with the Health app on your iPhone, the combination provides a great way to monitor your activity and get an overall picture of how you're looking after yourself. It knocks most other tracking devices into a cocked hat, thanks to its comprehensive range of sensors and impressive data collation, not to mention the fact that the device does loads of other things too. Apple has spent the last few years tying up the health monitoring market thanks primarily to the Apple Watch.
