Although not all doctors allow for sharing health data via the iPhone at this time, this technology is quickly spreading because it is so convenient for tracking a person's physical health. Some doctors allow you to share the data you've collected on your own health via the iPhone and Apple Watch. Learn how! Here's how to export Apple health data:

Open the Health app.
Tap Sharing.
Tap Share with your Doctor.
Tap Next.
You may need to allow the Health app to use your location.
Select the hospital, clinic, doctor, or doctor's office you'd like to share your health data with. Do note that not all doctors' offices or hospitals have this feature enabled, so you may not find yours listed.
Tap Connect Account.
You will then be taken to your doctor's office website, where you will be required to sign in to your pre-existing account and follow the instructions on the site.

Now you know how to use the health data sharing feature on your iPhone. Your device will share any health data it has with your doctor's office, and your doctor's office will use its own medical record-keeping system to analyze your data. You can stop sharing your data by disconnecting your account at any time. You can also make your medical records available for you to view in the Health app.
