**Your Apple Health readings and medication routine, in one clear place.** VitaVitals brings health information from Apple Health and your medication schedule together on a readable iPhone dashboard. Choose larger text and contrast settings, or hear supported readings spoken aloud. **HEALTH INFORMATION AT A GLANCE** Review steps, walking and running distance, heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, and Apple Watch ECG records. Open a detail view for charts and recent history. Reading dates help you see when heart-rate and blood-oxygen measurements were recorded. If information is missing or cannot be loaded, the app shows that state instead of presenting it as a measured zero. What appears depends on your devices, Apple Health records, permissions, and data availability. **MEDICATION SCHEDULES THAT FIT YOUR ROUTINE** Create daily, weekly, selected-day, interval, or as-needed schedules. Set a course by duration, dose count, or end date. Mark doses taken or skipped, correct a history entry, and review the scheduled time alongside the time you logged it. Editing a medication updates its upcoming dose details. If saved medication data cannot be read, VitaVitals preserves it and offers recovery options. Local notifications can remind you about scheduled doses. Some schedules need periodic refreshing; VitaVitals tells you when to reopen the app. Permission choices, Focus, and iPhone notification settings can affect delivery. Reminder previews may show medication names and dosages on the Lock Screen. **MAKE THE DISPLAY YOURS** Text follows your iPhone’s Dynamic Type setting. Choose Bold Text, High Contrast, Color-Blind Mode, and light, dark, or system appearance. Press and hold supported dashboard cards to hear their values. **EMERGENCY CALLING WITH A COUNTRY CHECK** Choose the country whose emergency number you intend to call. The selected country and number appear before you confirm the call. VitaVitals only offers numbers in its verified directory; when it has no verified number for a country, it shows iPhone Emergency SOS guidance. You can also call a saved emergency contact or doctor. **PRIVATE BY DESIGN** VitaVitals reads Apple Health data with your permission and does not write to Health. Medication records, history, contacts, and preferences are stored on your device. The app has no account, advertising, or third-party analytics. You can read the privacy information in Settings. Recovery copies may retain earlier medication data until you delete the app; exported recovery files remain wherever you save them. Available in English, German, Spanish, French, and Russian. Requires iPhone with iOS 17.6 or later. Apple Watch ECG details require compatible ECG recordings in Apple Health. VitaVitals displays information recorded by Apple Health and does not independently measure vital signs, diagnose or treat conditions, or provide medical advice. It is not an emergency response service. For an emergency, use iPhone Emergency SOS or your local emergency service.
