Overall Satisfaction with Apple Health
Organizationally we've been using Apple Health to track our movements throughout the week. For our employees it's not uncommon to walk between 15k-20k steps a day and traverse 15-30 flights of stairs. It's a great way to monitor your health and activity levels and keep track of daily habits. In terms of business "problems" I wouldn't say it directly correlates to business issues, but is a good metric for daily productivity.
Pros
- Steps Tracking
- Flights of Stairs
- Heart Rate
- Sitting/idle time
- Active Energy
Cons
- I'd like see more robust tracking of foods/diet - this is a personal request - not necessarily driven by work issues, but calorie tracking would be a nice addition.
- I find the "summary screen" to be convoluted and not compatible between other Apple Health Users - this is mainly due to differences in generations of Apple hardware.
- I'd like to see a universal comparison of days for all metrics (Active Energy, Steps, Calories burned etc.
- Fitness Tracking
- Active Energy Tracking
- Movement Tracking
- Apple Products are inherently expensive - but for the most part employees are motivated to pay for them.
- From a business perspective, we pay for the Apple iPhones, but the Apple Watch is left to the employee
- I think that it improves employee moral when comparing and having a healthy competition between employees.
I've used Garmin and Fitbit - admittedly it's been a long time and those were early generations of a product - but the Apple Health devices that are available in todays climate are far superior to those initial devices that served very limited roles (only steps tracking). The heart rate monitoring/active energy calculations/etc all blow those early devices out of the water.
