CUPERTINO, Calif.—During the keynote presentation kickoff of its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple revealed the first details about the next major software update for the Apple Watch: watchOS 9.

Apple's expanding health features to include medication tracking, complete with alerts for critical drug interactions, and optional data sharing with family or doctors. This can include vitamins and supplements. You'll also receive periodical reminders of what's being shared and with who. Notifications and watch complications will be available to remind you to take medications you use regularly, hopefully freeing up your reminders app a bit. All of this can be controlled from the Health app on iPhone, even if you don't have an Apple Watch.
