Apple is known to be constantly developing new operating systems for its devices , perhaps sooner than we expect . And according to what we've learned, the company is developing a new app, which is expected to be released alongside a possible iOS 8.

This news may surprise you, given that up until now we've only seen constant updates to iOS 7, but it seems the company is planning to build a major operating system superior to this one. They're also reportedly launching a new application that will apparently collect and organize user health information .

The planned application is called “Healthbook,” which, in addition to being a pre-installed application , will help you track your health . This platform will allow you to know your blood pressure, hydration, heart rate, and other important statistics for the user, such as glucose levels, reminders to take your medications at certain times during the day, and many more additional functions related to your health.

The design will feature an intuitive and easily accessible user interface, along with robust storage software for loyalty cards, coupons, and other data storage materials essential to the application. Furthermore, the logo for "Healthbook" is similar to a savings account icon, but it will be adorned with graphics representing the user's vital signs.

Meanwhile, what is known from these speculations is that Apple has been making a number of hires related to health over the past year. This is why employees were invited to participate in the experience with health sensors and other health-related mobile devices.
