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.
  • Steps Tracking
  • Flights of Stairs
  • Heart Rate
  • Sitting/idle time
  • Active Energy
  • 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.

Do you think Apple Health delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Apple Health's feature set?

Yes

Did Apple Health live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Apple Health go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Apple Health again?

Yes

I would recommend it as a tool to use in addition to other fitness/health tracking tools. I use other health apps as well (C25K, LoseIt, SleepIQ, Nike Run Club). I'd say its a tool among tools - not the end all be all tool. I do think the Apple Health Ecosystem (Apple Watch, iPhone) is unmatched.
