Health App in IOS 8
I just upgraded my Iphone to IOS 8, and see that a health app was included. I have only skimmed through the app, but it looks like there are pre-loaded tracking tools for vitamins as well as inputs from other tracking devices (and maybe other apps). It looks pretty interesting so far.
I'm leaving on a business trip this afternoon, but when I get the chance to play with the app I will, and will report back. In the meantime, I would be interested in what others think about the app, along with any tricks you fnd. DO you find the app beneficial, and how do you think it can be used to help us?
My understanding is that the health app aggregates info from your other apps and, right now, there aren't any that work with it due to a bug found right before release.
I have, however, set up my emergency medical info for my lock screen and that seems useful.

I've been using health apps for about two years. They are really helpful. And it has to be noted, the amount of such application has been increased. My husband has also recently started using Healthy Mind. He was diagnosed with ED. His doctor prescribed pills, but we check the info about Viagra online and decided that it is important to take more care of health and solve the problem. I should say, my husband also find health apps beneficial. What about you? What health apps do you like?
