The Health app on iPad keeps health data from your iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, and compatible apps and third-party devices in one place. You can fill out your Health Details and schedule your medications. You can also check your headphone levels and track your menstrual cycle.

iPad automatically stores and analyzes health details, including health records from your medical providers, and you can manually add information about medications you’re taking. With Cycle Tracking, you can log your period and record symptoms like cramps.
