Does Apple Health Integrate with BodySite?
Yes! Improve patient outcomes by pairing BodySite’s automated patient education platform with accessible and popular remote patient monitoring tool, Apple Health.
What is Apple Health?
Apple has been successfully storing private information via iCloud for their millions of customers for over a decade.
Given that most people around the world can’t live without their smart phone by their side, the Apple Health application makes it possible its users to privately monitor and store their health information by simply interfacing with their favorite device. Thus, making activity and biometric tracking as easy as going about your day and collecting data along the way.
Apple Health allows users to track metrics such as their resting heart rate, sleep, activity level, menstrual cycles and much more at their fingertips.
What is BodySite?
BodySite also tracks patient biometric data and activity, but the platform does so much more. At it’s core, BodySite is an automated patient education platform that allows providers to conduct a wide variety of practice management and remote patient monitoring tools such as their…
- Private labeled web portal for both provider and patient
- Daily patient education plans (customizable or ready-for-use)
- HIPAA Compliant Telemedicine Visits (1-on-1 and Group Visits)
- Comprehensive Patient Progress Summaries
- Intake Forms and Questionnaire Builder
- Food, Body and Activity Tracking
- & more…
This allows providers to automate care, giving them more freedom in their practice because they know that patients are being given tools and instruction every day to reach their wellness goals.
Alternatively, providers can engage with patients any time they’d like by utilizing the the virtual clinic, HIPAA compliant messaging, and check patient progress remotely any time they’d like. Giving providers the ability to be both hands-off and hands-on depending on the situation.

In other words, the patient only has to log in to BodySite, to gain access to all of these incredible tools, while their tracking metrics from Apple Health automatically load inside their BodySite account.
The Changing Healthcare Landscape
While remote care is only beginning to be considered mainstream by the healthcare industry, the entire world learned in 2020, that telehealth and remote patient care technology can serve as an incredibly substitute to regular in-office visits with a provider.
Furthermore, it highlighted the hesitancy of going to a physical doctor’s office as opposed to the ease for many of conducting health services virtually. As this ecosystem continues to develop and expand, providers across the world are asking how they can meet the growing needs of their patients and do so more efficiently than ever before.
A study in the British Journal of Medicine website (BMJ) cites “[Remote patient monitoring] RPM interventions have the potential to reduce acute care use when they are targeted to appropriate populations and disease states, designed well, and implemented with patients and providers in mind.”
This is the goal of BodySite: to equip providers with a platform that delivers customizable, targeted care for their patients, with their practice in mind. Ultimately improving outcomes for patients, saving time, and increasing practice revenues.
