Posted in News by Patricia on June 11, 2020The available ailments relate to general health conditions. All iOS users can register data from their iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch. The goal is to log and track various disorder-related symptoms over time. This will allow you and your doctor to have a better picture about how your condition evolves or heals in the long run. Proper tracking might even help your doctor to detect an illness in its incipient stages.
How To Add Symptoms To The iOS Health App
