Empirical Health2026.10.12 - App Store

80% of heart disease is in your control. Empirical combines dozens of biomarkers from your Apple Watch and an advanced blood test to help you optimize your heart health.

We summarize all Apple Watch vitals--the heart rate monitor, sleep, VO2 max (cardio fitness), ECGs (electro cardiogram), mental health, HRV, oxygen, blood pressure alerts, and more--into a daily health reports. Our advanced heart health blood test measures ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP (inflammation), eGFR, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and more.

Then, use your data to create a detailed plan to reduce your risk of heart disease:
* Cut cholesterol and blood pressure
* Boost VO2 max (Apple Watch cardio fitness)
* Track nutrition, including calories.

Here are the major features of Empirical Health.

METRICS: APPLE WATCH HEALTH REPORTS
Summarize your Apple Watch vitals into an instant health report. Metrics summarizes 40+ biomarkers into one health score, including resting heart rate, heart rate recovery (cardio recovery), ECGs (electro cardiograms), irregular rhythm notifications, heart attack risk (based on the American College of Cardiology's heart attack risk calculator), HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, ApoB, LP(a), sleep duration, sleep onset, deep sleep, REM sleep, sleep apnea risk, breathing disturbances, oxygen saturation (SpO2), respiratory rate, and VO2 Max (cardio fitness), HRV, temperature, depression, and anxiety. Keep a pulse on your health!

REAL MEDICAL CARE FROM REAL DOCTORS
Get real medical care from real doctors. Medical care is available in 30+ US states. Our doctors can order labs (e.g., blood tests), imaging, and prescriptions if medically necessary.

HEART RATE MONITOR & PULSE TRACKER
Track your heart rate (pulse), sleep stages, workouts, and journal your symptoms. Use Empirical as a POTS tracker, overall health monitor, and heart analyzer. The today screen gives you a high resolution heart rate (cardiogram), daily deep/REM sleep, and a customized symptom tracker with tags.

AI NUTRITION TRACKER
Just upload a photo of your meal, and we'll analyze it for fiber, saturated fat, potassium, sodium, calories, macros, and more. Use us as a cal AI alternative.

CARE PLANS for HEART HEALTH, SLEEP APNEA, BLOOD PRESSURE, CHOLESTEROL,, MENTAL HEALTH, and MORE
Manage hypertension (high blood pressure), lower cholesterol, and take ECGs (electro cardiograms). CHOP protocol.
ABOUT EMPIRICAL HEALTH
Empirical Health's mission is to prevent one million heart attacks. We're founded by a doctor and an engineer who previously worked at UC San Francisco, Google, Kaiser, Cardiogram, the HealthCare.gov rescue team, and more.

COMPATIBLE APPS & APPLE WATCH SENSORS
We're compatible with Apple Watch, Apple Watch SE, and Apple Watch Ultra, and can also import and analyze data from third party sleep, health, and fitness apps such as Autosleep, Athlytic, Bright, Cardiogram (HeartIQ / MigraineHQ), SleepWatch, Tachymon, Welltory, Sleep++, Cal AI, Function, Visible, and other heart rate & HRV monitors. Empirical works with all Apple Watch / iwatch health sensors: heart rate monitor (pulse), ECG (electro cardiogram), HRV, blood oxygen saturation, activity, deep sleep, REM sleep, sleep stages, afib history, vo2 max (cardio fitness), heart rate recovery (cardio recovery), temperature, depression and anxiety risk, sleep apnea alerts, breathing disturbances, and more. We also work with blood pressure cuffs that connect with the Apple Health app.

Please always check with a doctor in addition to using the app and before making medical decisions. You can talk with a doctor directly in the app in most US states.

- New Siri support
- Redesigned nutrition detail screen
- Support for resizable apps 2026.09.14 Sep 14 2026.08.25 fixes two bugs with in-app chat and downloading PDFs of results. 2026.08.24 Aug 26 New features:
* In the advanced program, when requesting your next re-test, you can now select add-ons if desired.
* Every metric, grouped by body system. Metrics used to show a short list. It now shows everything we know about you — labs, wearables, and the numbers we calculate from them — grouped by the system of the body they belong to, with your heart attack risk at the top. Search from anywhere in the tab, and switch between compact rows and larger tiles depending on how much detail you want.
* Ask anything. The Ask screen keeps your past questions. Your recent reports are right above the box, so you can reopen an answer instead of asking again.
* Find healthy meals on a map. The meal finder now shows restaurants near you as pins on a map, with the ranked list in a sheet you can drag up from the bottom. Filter by what you care about — fiber, protein, saturated fat, sodium — and share a link to what you found. The list view is still there if you'd rather skim.
Bug fixes:
- The Heart card could show a live heart rate above a chart that said no
measurements were found. The chart now follows your live reading, so it
keeps up during a workout.
- The Metrics tab paints as soon as your wearable data is ready instead of
waiting on your lab history, and loads faster on every visit after the
first.
- We fixed a small number of accounts where two people had ended up
sharing one login, so each person's results, name, and history are
now on their own account. If yours was affected, let us know. 2026.08.17 Aug 18 2026.07.27 redesigns the metrics page and fixes bugs.

- Percentiles are available for each metric on the detail screen
- Custom reports are available by tapping the question icon in the top-right corner.

Major bug fixes:
- Blank screens would sometimes appear on the iOS 27 beta, this is fixed.
