"When you think of counting your steps or tracking your sleep, you're probably going to think of attaching a smartwatch or some other wearable to your wrist-but you can actually monitor a bunch of metrics using just your phone. Your phone has the ability to automatically track the number of steps you're taking, for example. As long as you've always got it with you, it can tell you if you're reaching that daily step count or not, with no other devices required."
"Built-In Tracking Features If you're an iPhone owner, open the Health app to see all the various bits of data it can log, from the number of minutes you've been moving per day to the amount of sugar in your diet. You can enter readings for all of these categories manually, so if you're prepared to put in the time, you can build up a comprehensive picture of your health."
A smartphone can automatically track daily steps using built-in motion sensors whenever it is carried. Phones can also record walking speed and distance and log a range of health data in built-in apps like Health on iPhone. Diet and sleep tracking generally require third-party apps, which enable logging and monitoring without purchasing a wearable. Wearables offer continuous metrics such as heart rate and are convenient for exercise. Manual entry of measurements is possible to build a comprehensive health picture. iPhone users can view device-collected data via the Health app under profile > Devices > iPhone.
