Apple Watch for an Elderly Parent

[Kozak]

Oh wise MacRumors readers. I have a question regarding buying an Apple watch for an elderly parent and pairing to my iPhone. The intent is to monitor her for falls and A-Fib. Is this doable? Will I be able to create a separate Apple Health account for her on my iPhone?

With the new iPhone and watch software updates coming in September you will be able to do just that…share specific health info from her account to yours. Now whether it will share exactly what you want I’m not sure. Buy this was one of the keynote features during Apples announcement of these updates.

she will need her own account, and then be added to your "family"
