WebMD Relaunches iPhone App as a Hub for Fitness Data

Health apps and fitness trackers can be a bit of a mess nowadays—and in that mess WebMD sees an opportunity. You might have a fitness band with a corresponding app, another app for tracking runs or bike rides, and yet another to track what you’re eating each day. On Monday, WebMD updated its iPhone app to be a catch-all for the data produced by different wearables, as well as a daily fitness tracker and health minder.
WebMD has added a new “Healthy Target” section to its flagship iPhone app (but not yet to the Android version). The app already has two other parts: “Health Tools,” providing explanations symptoms, illnesses and medical terms, as well as local listings for doctors, pharmacies and hospitals; and “Healthy Living,” a daily lifestyle magazine offering tips on exercise, beauty, food and relationships.
