MacRumors • • general
Key Points:
- Apple has introduced a redesigned Health app in the first beta of iOS 27.2, allowing developers early access, though the app will officially launch later in the year.
- The new Health app uses Apple Intelligence to provide personalized insights and guidance based on data collected from the Apple Watch, including metrics like sleep, VO2 max, heart health, and readiness scores.
- Key features include the Insights tab with adaptive recommendations, a readiness score reflecting activity and recovery, improved vitals tracking with HRV metrics, and a Longevity tab assessing overall health across multiple categories.
- The app will support at-home health assessments such as VO2 max tests using the iPhone camera, and Apple plans to offer U.S. users the option to purchase a comprehensive bloodwork panel through Quest directly within the app.
- Some features, including lab ordering and personalized health recommendations, will not be available in the beta and are expected to roll out progressively later in the year.
