Apple has introduced the latest iOS 27.3 beta 1, which brings back the revamped Health app after its initial testing during the iOS 27.2 beta. The upgraded Health app is set to launch alongside iOS 27.3 and will become available to all users in the coming month. Apple has outlined three prominent new features in the Health experience: the Insights tab, the Longevity tab, and at-home movement evaluations.
The Insights tab provides users with timely, comprehensive summaries of their heart, sleep, readiness, fitness, vital signs, and cycle tracking data throughout the day. A dedicated "For You" section delivers personalized recommendations based on users' daily habits, offering practical guidance to improve their routines, such as suggestions for better sleep habits after consecutive nights of interrupted rest.
The Health app combines this data with dynamic content, featuring educational videos and articles from Health app clinical experts.
The Longevity tab takes a holistic approach by analyzing various metrics over time, including heart health, sleep, mental wellbeing, movement, metabolic health, hearing, and nutrition. A central component of this tab is Health Age, which calculates a metric that reflects how a user's body is aging relative to their chronological age. Users can input clinical laboratory data, such as A1c and LDL cholesterol, to create a more complete long-term health profile.
Additionally, the new Health app offers at-home movement evaluations, allowing users to assess their flexibility, strength, balance, movement mechanics, and VO2 max using their iPhone camera and Apple Watch. The assessments utilize real-time audio and visual feedback powered by on-device vision-based AI models developed in collaboration with clinical experts.
This feature runs entirely on the device, with no video recording, storage, or sharing. The revamped Health app also introduces expanded language support, available in global English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), French, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
