How to use Apple Health app to track steps First, open the Apple Health app by tapping on it on your iPhone’s Home screen. When you first open the app, you’ll be prompted to set up your Health Profile. In other words, you’ll enter basic information such as your name, sex, date of birth, height, and weight. You don’t necessarily have to enter this information, but it helps the app to provide a clearer, fuller picture of your overall health. As soon as you finish your Health Profile, you’ll be taken to the Health app’s Summary screen, which is the main dashboard summarizing your health data. You should already be able to see your steps data on this screen, without having to activate it or grant permissions. However, if you don’t see Steps on the Summary, here’s what you can do: Step 1: On the Summary screen, tap Edit (near the top-right corner) Step 2: Tap the All tab in order to see all the different kinds of activity you could monitor. Scroll down and tap Steps, so that the blue star next to it becomes bold. Then tap Done. Step 3: Having tapped Done, you’ll return to the Summary screen. Scroll down and tap Steps. Step 4: This brings you to your Steps dashboard. You’ll be able to see a graph that shows you how many steps you’ve taken today (although bear in mind that you obviously need to walk around with your iPhone for it to count your steps). You can see your average steps for the past week, month, or year by tapping on the W, M, and Y tabs above the graph. You can also scroll down to see a variety of “Highlights” summarizing how your step count has changed over certain periods of time. That’s it. But once again, if you want to use Health to track how many steps you’re taking each day, make sure you take your iPhone around with you on walks. Alternatively, you can count steps with your Apple Watch (if you have one), which can also be used to track your heart rate, as well as other vital signs. How to use Apple Health app to track your general health You can track steps on iPhone using the Health app, but you can also use the app to track a wide variety of other things. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT20303.

There are 850 facilities within the system and an extensive network of community-based services for improving the health of Albertans. Regardless of on-site or in-community care, AHS maintains a culture and care philosophy that promotes not only the health of patients, but also the patient care experience. To maintain that culture and care philosophy, AHS leverages technology as the conduit for delivering better healthcare. From patient experience to pandemic response initiative, the AHS patient-first philosophy with the power of Jamf transformed the way patients and families communicate and receive care from providers. At a glance • 500 iPad devices for patient experience and telehealth • iPadOS solutions in use: Jamf Reset, Virtual Visits • Started with bedside iPad for TV replacement in 2019 • In 2020, COVID-19 prompted the adoption of Virtual Visits powered by Jamf as alternative to in-person visitations • Ongoing patient experience prioritization while ensuring efficiency, safety and security Technology and the patient experience AHS set out to find a modern in-room television replacement that focused on the patient experience and their privacy.

Why Health Care Needs Apple
Why health care needs Apple Apple has a huge opportunity to innovate in digital health. The Silicon Valley technology giant has yet to confirm any new health and fitness gadgets — including its hotly anticipated “iWatch.” If you were hoping yesterday’s Apple earnings report would mention ‘wearables’, you were bound to be disappointed. The company made no announcements about an iWatch at all. But consumer expectation is high, and many health-focused investors view Apple’s entrance into the space as a foregone conclusion. “We’ve seen a lot of noise around wearables…my gut feeling is that Apple will legitimize the market and help us separate out the quality apps and devices,” said Ateet Adhikari, director at HealthBox, a digital health accelerator. Missy Krasner, executive in residence at Morganthaler Ventures, told me she’s over “90 percent” sure that Apple will innovate in digital health in a big way — and soon. Her only hesitation is that Apple execs have shown interest in health in the past, but haven’t followed through. Apple chief executive Tim Cook made some guarded comments about wearable technologies in May, but stopped short of indicating Apple’s actual plans. Still, this is “the first time Apple has made noise about digital health,” she said. And as a result, she said, “Silicon Valley investors are buzzing with excitement.” Indeed, Apple’s participation in digital health is sorely needed at a time when consumers have been slow to adopt self-tracking devices, investment in digital health is beginning to plateau, and the market is flooded with unregulated, low-quality technologies.
