Apple said on Nov. 3 that its redesigned Health app is expanding language support and adding new long-term health metrics, including a Health Age score, according to an Apple Newsroom post. The update is in the iOS 27.3 developer beta and will roll out as a free software update later this year, the company said.
New language support includes global English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), French, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese, Apple said. A new Insights tab surfaces summaries spanning heart, sleep, readiness, fitness, vitals and cycle tracking, and a For You section offers tailored recommendations, such as adjusting a wind-down routine after consecutive nights of interrupted sleep. A Longevity tab analyzes longitudinal metrics across heart health, sleep, mental wellbeing, movement, metabolic health, hearing and nutrition. Central to that tab is Health Age, which Apple said translates Apple Watch data — including VO2 max, resting heart rate, sleep and heart rate variability — into a metric that reflects how a user’s body is tracking relative to chronological age. Users can also add clinical lab results such as A1c and LDL cholesterol.
The update also introduces at-home movement evaluations that use an iPhone camera and Apple Watch to measure flexibility, strength, balance, movement mechanics and VO2 max with real-time audio and visual feedback, Apple said. The company said the experience is powered by on-device vision models, developed with clinical experts, and that no video is ever recorded, stored or shared. Apple said the redesigned app will be available on Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone and iPad models with the latest software, with some features only on iPhone, Health Age requiring Apple Watch, a VO2 max estimate requiring Apple Watch, AirPods Pro 3 or a third-party heart-rate sensor, and some features limited to users 18 or older. Availability can vary by region and language.
