iPhone 6 has a range of sensors built into it, including a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a brand new barometer. The barometer measures atmospheric pressure, thus determining the relative altitude at the point where you are. Therefore, as you move, you can keep track of which climb you have overcome. The Health app built into iOS 8 takes additional metrics from this sensor and lets you track the number of steps or hills you climb during the day.
The Health app itself is a single point of collection for data from any other health and fitness apps on your iPhone. Health collects information such as heart rate, calories burned, blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Health stores all this information in a single interface, so you can now get an accurate and reliable overview with just one touch. Here you can also create a short medical record for emergencies, including, for example, your blood type and allergens to which you are sensitive. It will be available directly from the lock screen without the need to enter a passcode.
You can choose what data is sent to the Health app. For example, you can automatically send data from an application that measures blood pressure to your doctor. Or set up an app that monitors your nutrition so that information about the calories consumed every day is sent to fitness apps. This is a kind of teamwork of health and fitness applications, which opens up completely new possibilities.
The latest updates in the App Store to support the Health app.
