As part of our commitment to bringing the best technology to our patients, Cedars-Sinai is proud to be one of the first hospitals in the US to offer an Apple Watch app.

Matthew Pufall, mobile product manager at Cedars-Sinai states that "This update and addition of the Apple Watch app brings a whole new level of accessibility to our patients. It's really exciting to provide our patients even more ways to stay connected with their health as well as with Cedars-Sinai."

The free app, which pairs with your iPhone has many convenient features, including:

• Hospital and urgent care locations
• Maps and directions to the location closest to you
