Hello Jed, Remember that, unlike many third-party apps, the Health app uses several vectors in order to determine step count, including the built-in gyroscope. Therefore, make certain that your iOS device is close to your body as you walk.
Generally speaking, I place my iPhone in a front pocket of my pants or in a breast pocket of my shirt. I find that this make the step count remarkably accurate. Wearing the device in a fanny pack or carrying it in any kind of bag reduces its motion, consequently reducing its step-count accuracy.
