A variety of definitions have been used for different purposes over time.

Still, other factors are beyond both individual and group choices, such as genetic disorders.

As we introduce and expand ways to share your health data, privacy continues to be at the core. All of our health features are built to keep your data secure and protect your privacy. Your health data stays on your device and is encrypted when your phone is locked with a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID. With it you can organize and access a vast array of health records, including allergies, labs, and immunizations — and sort through it all with ease. You can receive important notifications about your loved ones’ health and view things like their activity, mobility data, heart rate data, and trends in the Sharing tab. Send an invitation from the Sharing tab and the recipient can easily choose which data you can see, and start sharing.
