The iOS 27.3 beta reintroduces Apple's redesigned Health app, a feature previously seen in the iOS 27.2 beta. The updated app includes new Insights and Longevity tabs, offering users more detailed health and fitness metrics. The Insights tab displays key data such as Activity Rings, heart rate, sleep score, and vital signs, which Apple Intelligence will utilize to provide personalized recommendations.
For Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 users, the readiness score, indicating whether to engage in intense workouts, recover, or maintain routine exercise, will be featured in the Insights tab and on the watch itself. This score aids in making informed decisions about workout intensity. The Health app's redesigned Vitals section now provides overnight and daytime views, along with an additional metric - heart rate variability (HRV), both overall and for recovery.
The Longevity tab offers a comprehensive overview of health data trends across seven categories: heart health, sleep, mental wellbeing, movement health, metabolic health, hearing, and nutrition. It also introduces a Health Age feature, estimating how one's health metrics compare to their actual age using data from the Apple Watch and home fitness assessments via the iPhone camera.
Apple plans to expand language support to 11 languages and integrate laboratory test results and medical records, enhancing the Health Age calculation. The redesigned Health app is set to launch with iOS 27.3 in late 2026, coinciding with the expected December release. The app necessitates an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone.
