Apple Redesigns Health App With AI Insights: New Features Coming to iPhone
Apple is preparing a major redesign of its Health app, bringing more personalised insights, fitness recommendations and long-term wellbeing information to supported iPhone and iPad devices.
Announced on November 3, the redesigned experience uses Apple Intelligence to interpret health and fitness information and present it in a more organised way. The update is expected to arrive as a free software update later this year.
A New Insights Tab
One of the biggest changes is a dedicated Insights tab. It is designed to bring together information about heart health, sleep, fitness, readiness, vital signs and cycle tracking.
Instead of making users navigate multiple sections to understand their recent activity, the app aims to provide a more connected picture of their daily health information.
A new For You section will also offer recommendations based on individual habits. For example, it may suggest adjustments to a wind-down routine after several nights of interrupted sleep.
Health Age and the Longevity Tab
Apple is also introducing a Longevity tab that analyses longer-term measurements across areas such as heart health, sleep, mental wellbeing, movement, nutrition and hearing.
Its Health Age feature uses information from Apple Watch, including resting heart rate, sleep, heart-rate variability and VO2 max, to present a metric comparing health-related measurements with chronological age.
Users will also be able to incorporate selected laboratory results, including A1c and LDL cholesterol, into their broader health picture.
At-Home Movement Assessments
Another notable addition is an at-home movement evaluation. Using an iPhone camera and Apple Watch, supported users can assess aspects such as flexibility, strength, balance and movement mechanics.
Apple says these evaluations use on-device vision-based AI models and that video is not recorded, stored or shared. This could make basic movement assessments more accessible without requiring specialised equipment.
Will the New Health App Support Every iPhone?
No. The redesigned experience requires an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad running compatible software. Some features have additional hardware requirements, including Apple Watch.
Apple has also announced expanded language support for global English, Chinese, French, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese. Tamil is not included in the announced language list at this stage.
When Will It Arrive?
The redesigned Health app is currently available in the iOS 27.3 developer beta. Apple says the wider release will arrive as a free software update later this year. Features and regional availability may vary.
Bottom line: The redesigned Health app could make health information easier to understand by connecting daily measurements with longer-term trends. However, buyers should check device compatibility before expecting every feature to work on their iPhone.
