Apple iPhone users will soon be able to review long-term analyses of their health, receive automated alerts of changes to their loved one’s condition and share health data directly to their provider’s EHR system through the Apple Health app, the tech company revealed today at its annual WWDC event.

These health features will land alongside others designed to help users better understand the results of their health tests or records as well as those providing new ways to measure iPhone owners’ gait and risk of a fall.
