Method and sources
- Chart: Apple's public US Top Free Health & Fitness chart (genre 6013), top 50, snapshot taken 18 Oct 2026, 09:30 IST. The chart page always shows the current chart, so it will differ from this snapshot over time.
- App names and links: each app name links to its App Store page, as listed in the chart.
- Week-on-week change: an app's position this week compared with its position in the same chart one week earlier. "New or no data" means there was no position recorded for it in last week's top 50.
- What a chart is: Apple ranks charts with its own undisclosed method, which includes recent downloads. A chart position is not a measure of quality.
- Observations: counted directly from the snapshot, with no estimates. The heart and blood-pressure group is a simple name rule (the words blood pressure, heart or cardiac in the app name).
- Data: all 50 rows are in the CSV.
