The "health" client on the iPhone supports adding different "drugs", and users can search and add them manually in the follow-up, or scan them directly through the native camera (remember to grant camera access to the app).
In most cases, iPhone can easily identify label information and give medication instructions. However, for the actual dose adjustment, please follow the doctor's advice.
As shown in the figure, the user can specify the use time and frequency of each drug - customized schedule, background with unique visual effects, etc.
If you are an apple watch user, you can now sync all your lists to the "medicines" app on the smart watch side.
In that way, it is much easier to check through the wrist client when you need to take it - then you can click "taken" or "skip" records.
If you do not want to interact with the apple watch, it is relatively troublesome to label drugs through the "health" app on the iPhone. As for the drugs taken, they will be listed in the "recorded" section of the app.
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to tracking drug use records and sending reminders, the health app can also detect drug interactions to avoid users from encountering dangerous combinations.

Finally, drug tracking is just one of the health functions introduced in IOS 16. Other changes include the addition of support for the "activity" app.
Even if you don't have an apple watch, this feature can continuously track your daily activities.
