How do I get to medications in Health.app?

In this MacWorld article it shows a screenshot of Health.app with a section for medications but I can't find it in my Health.app. Was this functionality moved or removed at some point?

You cannot track medications in the Health app in the way you're describing. HealthKit does not have any medication data types. It's possible those screenshots were from an early/preview version of the Health app, but that feature definitely didn't make it into any shipping versions of Health.


Access to the feature is more subtle now.

  1. Launch Health.app
  2. Tap 'Summary'
  3. Tap your profile picture
  4. Tap 'Medical ID'
  5. Tap 'Edit'

When you open the Health app, look at the bottom row of tab choices. On the far right you'll see one labeled Medical ID:

Tap on that and you should see a screen similar to this image:

Tap Edit on the top right (not shown in the picture above, I'm already in Edit mode). Go down to the Medications section and enter whatever medicine you want in there.
