On iPhone, to personalize your experience, add your name, date of birth, sex, blood type, and other basic information to Health Details. To help first responders and others in case you have a medical emergency, create a Medical ID that contains information about medical conditions, medications, allergies, blood type, emergency contacts, and more.
To better manage your health with the help of the Health app, periodically review the Health Checklist. And if you skipped any details when you first opened Health, you can add them later.

The first time you open Health, it asks you to provide basic health information about yourself. Anything you don’t supply then, you can add later on the Health Details screen.
