Apple advances health and fitness capabilities using Apple Intelligence
Apple introduced a new Health Sensing System for Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, alongside a redesigned Health app powered by Apple Intelligence.
Why it matters
These updates allow users to monitor recovery and long-term health markers more accurately to make informed daily lifestyle choices.
The big picture
This launch follows the recent unveiling of the iPhone Duo, further expanding Apple's hardware and software ecosystem.
The details
Heart rate variability (HRV) is now measured every five minutes. The Longevity tab introduces Health Age to compare health metrics against chronological age. Users can perform at-home physical assessments using the iPhone camera and Apple Watch. iOS 27 adds support for tracking perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
What's next
The redesigned Health app will be available later this year, beginning with U.S. English.
