As long as we're talking about the Health app, let me also mention that there is a Medical ID tab in the bottom right corner of the screen. If you have any sort of major health conditions, like diabetes, heart issues, short of breath, etc.; it would be to your benefit to fill in as much information as you are comfortable. In case of emergency, EMS or other personnel can access that ID information from an emergency button on the lock screen. This happens when the phone prompts for Touch/Face ID or a passcode, an emergency button appears in the bottom left of the screen. I think you can also fill in medications you are taking or are allergic to in the Medical ID section. There should be a video in there that talks more about this feature and how it can help. Finally, if you want to be an organ donor, you can access an organ donation button somewhere in the Health app, I think on the Medical ID page but not sure. This information is sent to a third party and Apple is kept out of the loop, for those concerned about privacy.
