Using Health app in iOS 8

Perhaps I'm missing something about how the "Health" app is supposed to work.
It seems to have the most odd data point categories, while leaving out many obvious ones.
For example, you're able to track your "Molybdenum" intake, but you can't keep track of when you had your last tetanus shot?
You can enter your "Electrodermal Activity" , but where do you enter what medications you take and whether you took them today?
Surely you can keep track of your medications with this thing, right?

As far as I know, it isn't set up for medications. I know there are other medical records types of apps to track that tho.
Heck, you can't even track water intake
They've missed a few things in this first iteration of the tools.

  • Health app in iOS 8 and NikeFuel

    I cannot get my NikeFuel on the Health App in iOS 8. I have an 64 GB iPhone 5 so, I have loads of  free space.

    Hello Ken, Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I can certainly understand why you would want to get your Nike+ FuelBand connecting to the new iOS 8 Health app. Currently we're working with Apple because due to an unspecified issue with Health Kit and the Health App, data sharing between those apps and other apps (including NikeFuel) is not currently enabled. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but I would keep your eye on updates for iOS 8, and the Nike+ FuelBand and FuelBand app.  Should you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know; I am here to help. Sincerely, Dante

  • The Health app in iOS 8?

    I have used this app with varying results since receiving my iPhone 6+.  Hopefully, it is still in its infancy and will improve.  One question, among many, here's how it measures and records "flight climbed". I am up and down stairs practically all day, as I lived in a two-story house.  It has yet to register more than one flight climb.  How does this work?  I see no selection to turn in either on or off.  Has anyone else had similar issues with this or other parts of the Health app.

    The information collected in encrypted on your iPhone and Apple cannot use it or view it. If you back up to iCloud it is required that the backup is encrypted as well.
    Here is some further information:

  • Microsoft Band adding some tiles using Health app displays "Notifications are not supported in this version of Windows Phone"

    Adding some tiles to my Band shows the 'Notifications are not supported in this version of Windows Phone' error.
    The affected tiles include calls, mail, Facebook, Cortana and Facebook messenger. My Lumia 1520 is running on the latest version of WP8.1 Preview for Developers. Why is this the case?

    Never mind. It's actually working now.
    The health app wasn't presenting me with a request to access notifications. Strangely on the 4th or 5th time opening the app it did.

  • Health app: bad walking distance since i upgrade 8.2 but good steps number

    Bad walking distance since i upgrade 8.2 (but good steps number)
    I am using Health app on my Iphone 6 every day since 6 month and since i upgrade, i got  ridiculous number for kilometers for example 0,4 and 8453 steps ...i have walk approximatively 6 kilometers.
    I have noticed that the speed display for weeks, months, years was very good after the upgrade , but there is somme trouble with tracking …
    Any idea ?

    Hey Makwassie,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the steps taken are not being updated in the Health App. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
    If your Health data doesn't update on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

  • Health app: bug in daily average for sleep in year view?

    I've manually entered sleep time for everyday since August 2014 in the Health app (on iOS 8, on an iPhone 6).
    In Day, Week, and Month view, the daily average seems correct (resp. 7h49, 7h09, 7h09).
    But it is obviously wrong in the Year view (12h36mn).
    Also the graph in the Year view is wrong. (The bar for August is twice as high as the one for October for instance.)
    (I've check -3 times- that these manually entered data were correct.)
    Does anybody experience the same problem?
    Or as any idea what the bars, in the Year Graph, are supposed to represent? (daily average for each month? or total sum of sleep time for the month?)
    Thanks in advance!
    Antoine

    The Health App really serves as a conduit between a variety of other apps that wouldn't ordinarily be able to talk to each other. The App Store has a section for apps that work with Health to be able to sync data.
    You can submit feedback to Apple here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Don't stress to much if you can't find a section dedicated to Health. Pick something under "iPhone" and just make sure you explain it well.

  • "medical id" is missing from my health app on my iPod touch 5th gen running iOS 8

    Along the bottom of the health app on my iPod touch 5th gen running iOS 8 I am missing the "medical id" that should be the 4th icon on the lower right of the screen

    You can't seriously believe users would be *that* idiotic, even on a sue-happy country like the US… And while Apple could get sued, it's not like Apple Legal would lose a case like that; for someone to die in the first place *because of the iPod Touch*, first-responders (be them regular bystanders or medical professionals) would have to be stupid enough to believe they could use it to make calls and not try doing that using instead, duh, a regular phone that they would likely be carrying with them anyway, and for Apple to be in the least bit accountable, the interface would have to misdirect them and make them believe they could in the first place.
    Except it doesn't. It never did. The iOS interface, on the iPod Touch, has no references whatsoever to calling functions, be they regular or emergency-related. If you tap a phone number detected by smart filters, you can't dial it (I believe you're offered the option to save it on the Address Book, though), and on the lock screen, there is no “Emergency Call” function (nor would there be such a function on the Health ID page, either). So… I fail to see your point.
    And you can't seriously believe Apple would risk, on purpose, a lawsuit by the family of someone who, having both an iPhone *and* an iPod Touch (not very likely, I know, but please bear with me) dies because s/he is carrying only the iPod Touch and unwittingly (but understandably) expects *all* Health and the potentially *life-saving* Health ID info to sync across devices via iCloud.
    Nope, this is an oversight by Apple devs, and a massive one at that.
    P.S.: A massive legal/functional disclaimer, such as “Warning: This device cannot connect to the cellular network. For emergency calls please use an appropriate device” or something along those lines would pretty much exempt them from any legal responsibility, while still enabling a life-saving feature.

  • IOS 8.1 health app crashes when opening or accessing data

    When i open the health app, he crashes when loading in data and overtime i try to open my steps data, he keeps saying loading, the app seems he can't handle all the amount of data. also every time it crashes all my data on the dashboard disappears and only reappears when I'm rebooting my iPhone. Also when i have synced my phone with iTunes a lot of my whitings data is duplicated and i have to manually delete all the clones.
    seems apple has a lot of work with health, i hope the problems will be stabilized in upcoming updates.

    Hey there Airpwort,
    It  sounds like your Health app is becoming unresponsive only when you tap the Sources tab at the bottom. A number of things can cause an issue like this but the easiest and best place to start would be to quit all the running apps on your phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Health app not reading from any other apps. iOS 8.1

    Using iPhone 6+ and iOS 8.1. I use MapMyRun, MyFitnessPal and Lark. Lark pulls activity from phone when I walk around with it in my pocket but I'm not going to run with the thing. I run with a Garmin Forerunner, log my workouts on MapMyRun and they show up fine on my iPhone app version but they don't push to the Health app. I have Health's source settings all "on" and allowing read and write permissions but there isn't any reading or writing happening. What gives?

    Hi Try a Reboot press and hold power button and menu button hold both down until you see Apple  Logo Also Sign out of itunes then Sign back in not Apps Store. Cheers Brian

  • Can I use multiple swfs in iOS app?

    Hello everybody,
    I have to create an app for iOS from an existing Flash project.
    On the stage of the main flash multiple swfs are loaded dynamically .
    Is it possible to compile, in addition to the main file, all the other swfs too?
    If I load the swf in the "Included files” on “Setting AIR for IOS” menu, they are copied as swf, making impossible to use the app on iPad.
    Thanks to all

    Thanks,
    I left a component in the external swf library...
    Now it works!

  • Can I use macbook air for ios app development?

    I would like to know if i can use macbook air for ios app development or macbook pro is only option?

    Just to reinforce what shldr2thewheel says - be very sure what size memory you want if you get a Macbook Air. There is *no* way to change after purchase. My advice is to go for the 4GB option - especially if you want to do app development.
    The internal storage (solid state drive) of the Air can be upgraded if required but it will probably be an expensive option. If you don't think the storage will be enough then maybe using a USB connected drive to hold non-essential files is an option.
    As to deciding between the Air and Pro you are basically making a decision between portability (Air) and expandability/bigger screens (Pro). What is more important to you?

  • How to delete duplicate datasets in iOS health app?

    I synchronize my POLAR activity tracker with my iPhone to collect and visualize the number of steps in the Health app. In most cases it works perfect, but sometimes the data are completely to high. So I have days with more than 600.000 steps, but the list of data points shows thousends of duplicate entries.
    Is there an easy way to remove the duplicate data?

    Hi Tidbits,
    I ended up going to Best Buy, where I got my LG G3 Verizon phone. The Tech tried everything to correct the duplication, but could not find how to do it. He deleted everything, and went back to factory settings. Darn if the duplicates didn't come back.
    He went to my Verizon account, and went to the Verizon Cloud. Clicked on Contacts, and there were all the duplicate contacts. He deleted the duplications, leaving the original for each contact. BINGO the problem was solved.
    I am using the Standard Messaging instead of Verizon messaging Plus. The Tech said that if I had been using Using Verizon Messaging Plus this may not of happened. I just down want the added cost of Messaging Plus.
    Thanks for the response.

  • TS1702 after upgrading to ios 6 i can  no longer use the app store.

    after upgrading to ios 6 i can  no longer use the app store on my iPhone, i am unable to install new apps. i chose to fill out the security questions and the problem seems to occur since then. what could be a solution to get the app store working again??

    i just contacted apple support and the solution is the following!!!!!
    connect the iphone to your computer  and open itunes
    then click on itunes store at the left side of the screen
    then click at the right top side of your itunes screen on your email address (or id that is displayed there in the black bar)
    choose log out
    then go to the top of the screen with the search option in itunes where you can search in the store and choose an app that you have not yet installed.
    then you get the security questions also in itunes, fill the them out and after you have done that you are asked to log in again
    now when you install an app that works (it is then on your computer still)
    open the app store on your iphone and choose the updates button and install the app from the cloud
    now when you install new apps also from the app store on your iphone it works again!!! and you are no longer asked about the security questions
    (the other option they told me (that i did not have to use)  is: go to settings/general/ all the way at the bottom of the screen choose make new settings restore networksettings and choose yes)

    I bought iPhone 3GS(Used) recently and updated ios 6.1.3 my iPhone is taking blurry Pictures through basic default Cam app.Can anybody please let me know any solution for this?

    Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.
