At WWDC, Apple introduced several new APIs, including updates to HealthKit. Here are some of the highlights:

  1. HealthKit Medications API: This new API allows apps to read medications data, enabling developers to create apps that can manage and track medications. It includes features like anchored object queries and managing authorization for newly added medications. You can learn more in the session Meet the HealthKit Medications API.

  2. Wellbeing APIs in HealthKit: Apple introduced new APIs to support mental health, including the ability to read and write mood or emotion data using the State of Mind API. This is part of a broader effort to support mental wellbeing through technology. More details can be found in the session Explore wellbeing APIs in HealthKit.

  3. HealthKit in visionOS: HealthKit is now available on visionOS, allowing apps to read and write health data on this new platform. This opens up opportunities for immersive and collaborative health experiences. For more information, check out the session Get started with HealthKit in visionOS.

These updates provide developers with new tools to create innovative health and fitness applications across Apple's ecosystem.
