Navigate to Apple application programmatically

Hello!

I was wondering whether or not it was possible for:

  1. An application to programmatically open up an Apple app (i.e. navigate to the ECG app on the Apple Watch for my case) through some framework or internal URL?
  2. A background thread of my running application (which is occurring through a workout session) to issue a command to come back to it's main page of the application?

This would help in a systematic data-gathering flow which requires me to gather ECG data and then return to the application for further action without too much action on the user's behalf. Thank you!
