now something that we all care a lot about health whoo so developers have created a vast array of health care devices and accompanying applications everything from monitoring your activity level to your heart rate to your weight and chronic medical conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes but up to now the information gathered by those applications lives in silos you can't get a single comprehensive picture of your health situation but now you can with health kit health kit provides a single place that applications can contribute to a composite profile of your activity and health and health kit comes with a corresponding application health and with health you can monitor all of your metrics that you're most interested in your activity but not just that you can use third-party applications now we carefully protect your privacy so you have total control over which applications have access to which part of your health care information but you can for instance provide different activity weight heart rate information to the Nike app and Nikes working to integrate health kit so they use that information to help you in your pursuit of your personalized fitness goals now we're also working with the Mayo Clinic innovators in health care and with their integration with health kit they're going to be able that when an a patient takes let's say a blood pressure reading health kit automatically notifies their app and their app is automatically able to check whether that reading is within that patients personalized healthcare parameters thresholds and if not it can contact the hospital proactively notify a doctor and that doctor can reach back to that patient providing more timely care now now we think this is going to be really important for health care and the CEO of the Mayo Clinic agrees he said that we believe apple's healthkit will revolutionize the health industry how the health industry interacts with people we're proud to be at the forefront of this innovative technology with the Mayo Clinic app we agree now we're also working with leaders in healthcare applications like Epic Systems now they provide the technology that enables hospitals serving over a hundred million Americans and so now with their integration with health get patients these leading institutions will be able to get closer and sharing their information with their doctors and that is health
