Apple’s revamped Health app will calculate your ‘health age’ and readiness score

Apple has overhauled its Health app to use Apple Intelligence to better interpret users' health information, the company said. The redesign adds an Insights tab that surface timely information and personalized guidance, along with new assessments that synthesize data from the iPhone and Apple Watch. Among the headline additions are a readiness score meant to reflect current condition and a computed “Health Age” that compares a user’s physiological metrics to their chronological age.

The Health Age calculation pulls from metrics such as VO2 max and sleep patterns and can incorporate blood biomarkers to create a broader view of how a person’s body compares with typical age-based norms. Apple also introduced a Longevity tab that aggregates measures across sleep, movement, heart health and other factors. Users can feed lab results into the app’s guidance — Apple announced a collaboration with Quest Diagnostics to offer a 50-biomarker panel for $119 to supply lab-based data for the feature.

Apple said the app will use its intelligence features to make actionable suggestions, for example recommending interval training to improve cardiovascular fitness. The update expands the Health app’s assessment capabilities to include in-depth movement evaluations intended to help older adults or people recovering from injuries. During those assessments, a trainer demonstration can show movements for the user to perform, a feature Apple described as simulating hands-on coaching.

The refreshed Health app is scheduled to roll out later this year, with availability starting in U.S. English. The company introduced these changes alongside its new Watch models and emphasized the role of device metrics plus optional lab tests in producing the app’s personalized scores and insights.
