You can share these results with your care team for more informed conversations, according to Apple. The Mindfulness app on your Apple Watch encourages you to set aside a few minutes a day to focus, centre and connect as you breathe. You can even create a Breathe watch face that encourages you to relax and breathe mindfully through the day.
