appleAre we going to witness the next big thing in healthcare? According to the Apple website: ‘The new Health app gives you an easy-to-read dashboard of your health and fitness data. And we’ve created a new tool for developers called HealthKit, which allows all the incredible health and fitness apps to work together, and work harder, for you. It just might be the beginning of a health revolution.’ The app promises to calculate all kinds of data including heart rate, calories burned, etc. in one place. You can also create an emergency card with important health information — for example, your blood type or allergies — that’s available from your lock screen. The website also states: ‘Your health and fitness apps will soon work even harder for you. With HealthKit, developers can make their apps even more useful by allowing them to access your health data too. And you choose what you want shared. For example, you can allow the data from your blood‑pressure app to be automatically shared with your doctor. Or allow your nutrition app to tell your fitness apps how many calories you consume each day. When your health and fitness apps work together, they become more powerful. And you might too.’ Also Read - Ganesh Chaturthi 2020: 4 reasons an eco-friendly Ganesha is good for you

The new Health app gives you a detailed look at your health and fitness data! 

 What Twitter is expecting from iPhone 6 and iWatch live blog:

The new M8 co-processor can differentiate between running and cycling. Can also calculate distance and elevation. This could be big for fitness apps and Apple’s own Health app.

The M8 uses a barometer to measure elevation and distance. #AppleLive @acefitness

The M8 chip can tell when you are walking, running and tell distance and steps, even flights of stairs #AppleLive @acefitness
