For example, if you’re concerned about a particular area of your health, you can share data from that category along with information from your everyday life, like your activity and heart data. To help you have more meaningful discussions with your healthcare team, you can share health information including activity data, heart data, cycle tracking data, heart health notifications, and falls detected. You’ll get notifications for any significant changes that are identified in shared data categories, such as a steep decline in activity, as well as gradual trends like an improvement in blood pressure. You can also receive the same alerts as a loved one, such as heart rate and irregular rhythm notifications. The great positive impact of public health programs is widely acknowledged. Due in part to the policies and actions developed through public health, the 20th century registered a decrease in the mortality rates for infants and children and a continual increase in life expectancy in most parts of the world.
