Along with the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, Apple on Wednesday introduced a redesigned Apple Health app that takes advantage of Apple Intelligence to make better sense of your health data. The change provides a new insight tab that includes a summary of the most up-to-date information, plus personalized recommendations, assessments, a new “readiness” score, and a calculation of “your healthy age.”
The latter is a way to understand how your various health metrics compare to your actual age and uses data like your VO2 max, your sleep, and more, including biomarkers from your blood.
The addition also includes a new Longevity bar, which uses measurements from your Apple Watch and iPhone to assess your health across sleep, activity, heart health, and other factors. Your lab results can be included in this guide, and Apple has announced a partnership with Quest for a 50-biomarker panel for $119, giving users quick access to information that can only come from lab tests.
With Apple Intelligence, Apple’s Health app has been updated to make sense of other health data, too, which comes in features like fitness scores and insight bars. For example, the app can suggest that users incorporate more intervals into their morning run to improve their cardio health. The application will also delve into areas such as fitness and heart health as well, Apple said.
The Health app also allows users to get an in-depth assessment of how well their body is moving, which can help people who are older or recovering from an injury. The trainer can demonstrate certain moves for you to try while you take the assessment, which Apple claims is like having a trainer with you.
An updated version of the Health app will launch later this year, starting in US English.
