Automatically collect data in Health on iPod touch
The Health app automatically collects several types of health data, such as daily steps and headphone audio levels. When you use a compatible app or device (sold separately), you can allow it to share its collected data with the Health app.
Note: You can also manually enter data for body measurements, symptoms, menstrual cycle information, and more. See Manually add data in Health on iPod touch.
Health data collected by iPod touch
iPod touch automatically captures, analyzes, and saves valuable health data, including the following:
Walking data: Built-in sensors on your iPod touch capture the number of steps you take and the number of flights of stairs you climb. You can browse highlights, trends, and details about this data in the Activity category in Health.
Headphone audio levels: Audio levels from connected AirPods, EarPods, or other compatible headphones are automatically collected in Health. You can review this data in the Hearing category to help you understand your headphone listening habits.
Sleep history: If you set up a sleep schedule in Health, iPod touch automatically captures the periods you’re lying in bed with the intention to sleep. You can review this data in the Sleep category to help you meet your sleep goals.
Health records from your healthcare providers: You can set up secure and automatic downloads of health records about your allergies, conditions, medications, and more from supported health organizations (not available in all countries or regions). You can browse these records in Health.
Health data collected from other apps and devices
As you set up health and fitness apps that you download from the App Store, follow their onscreen instructions to allow them to share data with Health.
To collect data from devices like blood pressure monitors and weight scales (sold separately), follow their setup instructions. Bluetooth devices need to be paired with iPod touch.
Note: You can change health data permissions for apps and devices at any time.
