App Store 1.4.1 rejection: Medical claims and measurements

Apple has asked how your health feature works. Under 1.4.1, measurement claims need a disclosed method and support for their accuracy. Apple specifically rejects certain medical measurements claimed from device sensors alone when those sensors can’t perform them.

Match each claim to its evidence

Compare the store description, onboarding, readings, and recommendations. What is measured, what is estimated, and what information supports the result? We’d ask the developer and the person responsible for clinical content to review the same list of claims.

Check third-party and AI-generated advice too. Calling a feature “wellness” doesn’t change what a screen promises to diagnose or treat.

Correct the claim or the feature

Remove unsupported capabilities and explain the real method clearly. Include a reminder to consult a doctor before making medical decisions. If the app has regulatory clearance, provide Apple’s requested link to the documentation; don’t imply clearance you haven’t obtained.

Verify that results, labels, and promotional material now agree. Share the methodology and relevant validation evidence with App Review. For a question about your app’s medical or regulatory obligations, involve an appropriately qualified professional; the review guideline doesn’t determine that status for you.
