Apple devices track your heart rate, your steps, and how hard you work out. In some cases, users said they saved their lives. Now Apple wants to make sure you don't skip your medications.

Last Monday, during the Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple detailed several software updates coming this fall changing how you use an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and MacBook.

While many of those features will help Apple device owners stay organized and in touch, the tech giant is also looking at new ways to get users thinking about their health.

"We were working on the (Apple) Watch and realized the watch was with you all the time, and thought there's a real opportunity and maybe even a moral responsibility to help people on their journey on health," said Apple chief operating officer Jeff Williams during an interview with USA TODAY. "We continue to pull on those threads and are doing more and more in the area of empowering people with information and helping them live a healthier life."

The software updates for Apple devices will be available in public beta next month before releasing globally in the fall. WatchOS 9 will work on all Apple Watches dating back to the Series 4, while iOS 16 is eligible on all iPhones going back to iPhone 8.

Here's a look at some of the new health features coming this fall.

Messaging apps: Why haven't iPhone, Android evolved to make it easier to talk to each other?

Apple MacBooks: New M2 MacBooks signal Apple is moving full-steam ahead with its computers

An app for medications

Available on both WatchOS 9 for Apple Watch and iOS 16 on the iPhone, Medications allows users to maintain a list of the medications they take.

Users can snap photos of their medication using the iPhone camera, which captures the name, strength and form and automatically adds it to the app. From there, users add details such as dosage, timing and pill shape.

iPhone and watch owners can also set schedules and reminders to remember to take medications, as well as study any potentially harmful interactions.
