# supportsHealthRecords()

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the current device supports clinical records.

```
func supportsHealthRecords() -> Bool
```

## Discussion

This method returns <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> if the device is set to a locale where clinical records are supported, or if the user already has clinical records downloaded to their HealthKit store. Otherwise, it returns <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.

This method lets users switch their locale without losing their health records.
