Owners of an iPhone or Apple Watch have a new health feature, an app called Medications, that will help them manage and track their use of medicines.
The new tool works as a component of Apple’s Health app and will let users add drugs or other health products like vitamins and supplements to a personal list – either by scanning a label or finding the product in a directory – and create custom schedules for them.
Users can also use the built-in health records feature on the Health app to download current medications, said Ricky Bloomfield, a former director of mobile strategy at Duke University who joined Apple as clinical and health informatics lead in 2016 in a tweet.
