Millions of people use an iPhone or Apple Watch when they exercise, but smart tech can monitor other aspects of your health too

Keep a smart eye on your well-being

The iPhone has been at the heart of Apple’s plans for health technology for years, and those plans took another big step forward with the Apple Watch Series 2 last year, which can now be used to monitor your performance in an even wider range of sports and activities. And, of course, there are dozens of rival smartwatches and fitness bands that provide their own iOS apps too.

But burning calories is just the start. There are many other devices that now allow you to monitor important aspects of your health, including your weight, body fat, or blood pressure. You’ll occasionally get a disapproving email from your bathroom scales – having a bad week, Cliff?’ – but it’s all worth it if it helps to keep you fit and healthy in the long run.
