This is due to the processing power of these two devices, enabling them to handle health data requests locally on the device with low latency, thus respecting our privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Katie Skinner, Senior Manager of User Privacy Engineering at Apple, highlighted the privacy-centric approach for this feature. It was designed following four fundamental principles that guide all of Apple&#8217;s health products: <strong>data minimization, on-device processing, transparency and control, and security<\/strong>. &#8220;What has really changed is how we apply these principles, the technologies we can employ, and the threat landscape,&#8221; Skinner affirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon its launch, health logging via Siri can access over 20 types of data from the Health app. Caldbeck assures that there are more updates on the way: &#8220;We&#8217;re always looking for ways to improve and empower our features. So, we&#8217;ll definitely continue exploring adding additional data types and providing more accessibility to our health features through Siri.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, to access this functionality, you&#8217;ll need an iPhone compatible with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/ios-17-official-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">iOS 17<\/a> or an Apple Watch Series 9 or Ultra 2.
