Apple's New Health App Beta Introduces 'Health Age' and AI Insights to Rival Whoop
Apple has released the iOS 27.2 developer beta, which includes a significantly redesigned Health app. The update moves beyond simple data storage by introducing an 'Insights' tab for daily metrics and a 'Longevity' tab featuring a new 'Health Age' score. This score estimates how the body functions relative to age using data from the Apple Watch. The app also includes movement assessments for flexibility and strength, as well as dynamic commentary from health experts. These changes aim to compete with services like Whoop and Oura by providing actionable advice rather than just raw data. While some features like personalized recommendations and lab ordering are not yet available, Apple plans to release them later this year.
