Download health records in Health on iPod touch

The Health app offers access to information from supported health organizations about your allergies, conditions, medications, and more (not available in all countries or regions).

Note: Your health organization might not appear in this feature. Organizations are added frequently. See the Apple Support article Institutions that support health records on iPhone and iPod touch.

When iPod touch is locked with a passcode, all of the health data in the Health app is encrypted.

Share your records with other apps

Third-party apps can request access to your health records. Before you grant access, be sure that you trust the app with your records.

To grant access, choose which categories to share—such as allergies, medications, or immunizations—when asked.
Choose whether to grant access to your current and future health records or to only your current records.
If you choose to share only your current records, you’re asked to grant access whenever new records are downloaded to your iPod touch.

To stop sharing health records with the app, turn off its permission to read data from Health.
