After much speculation, Apple has confirmed that it plans to soon launch a native health tracking platform – dubbed HealthKit. The platform will come with a user-facing
app simply called Health, and will feature a number of high-profile collaborations that Apple hopes will break new ground in the fledgling mobile health apps and fitness trackers sector. The tech giant is working with renowned
US health provider Mayo Clinic to integrate medical information via the new platform, which will be part of its new operating system iOS 8 when this is launched for both iPhones and iPads.
Apple will also consolidate heart rate, blood
pressure, weight and other data from a range of apps and devices, including collaborator Nike. “Developers have created a vast array of healthcare devices and accompanying applications – everything from monitoring your activity level, to your heart rate, to your weight, as well as chronic medical conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes,” Apple senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi said at the unveiling. “HealthKit provides a single place that
applications can contribute to a composite profile of your activity and health.” Details:

ukactive has announced a formal review as it bids to refine governance structure and deliver on key objectives, including aligning the activity sector for future growth. The move continues the organisation’s
repositioning, from being a health and fitness representative to becoming a wider physical activity advocate – something that began 18 months ago with the name change, having previously been known as the Fitness Industry Association (FIA). Management expert Portas Consulting
has already started work on the evaluation, which will also serve to ensure ukactive is in-step with the published best practice and good governance standards for non-profit organisations. The findings will be presented to the ukactive board in September with a conclusion at the November AGM. Details:
