Health App Revenue and Usage Statistics (2025)

Keeping track of your health is, for many people, a continuous task. Monitoring what you eat, how often you exercise and how much water you drink can be time-consuming, fortunately there are tens of thousands of apps that make daily tracking easy.

What started as being able to log health data has transformed into an ecosystem of apps able to personalize weight loss programs, offer alternatives and keep people focused on their dieting and health journey at the pivotal points.

The introduction of fitness trackers and smartwatches provided health apps with a wider field of health metrics to track, letting users know how well they slept, how hard they pushed during a cardio workout, and alert them to some potential underlying health conditions.

Wearable health technology has evolved significantly since the launch of tracking sensors, which were dominated by Fitbit before smartwatches began to command the market. Fitness trackers evolved with the addition of sensors to track heart-rates, temperature, sleep, menstrual cycles and other health information. However, the broader appeal of smartwatches – which can make payments, access social media, open maps and track health – has overtaken the focused fitness trackers.

In a packed field, developers of health apps have had to create niche products aimed at specific tracking metrics. For example, a whole sub-sector has grown out of health for fasting, with apps offering different timers, reminders of when the fast starts, and videos on how to approach fasting.
