Apple Updates Health App With Health Age Test in iOS 27.2

Apple is redesigning the Health app in the iOS 27.2 update. The main new feature is the Health Age test, which compares a user’s health age with their actual age. The app will evaluate various physical metrics and test results together. It will then calculate an age reflecting the user’s overall health, and this figure may differ from their actual age.

The assessment includes movement tests related to longevity. Users will walk, squat, perform torso movements, and complete strength exercises. Flexibility will also be tested separately. Health will also take VO2 max into account, which measures how well the body uses oxygen during physical activity.

The assessment will not be limited to movement tests. Users will be able to add laboratory results and information about nutrition and mental health to the app. Based on this data, Apple Intelligence will prepare personalized health summaries. This will make the collected information easier to understand.

Another new feature is the Readiness Score for Apple Watch Series 12. This feature will summarize health data and present the user’s physical readiness as a score. Health Age is expected in the iOS 27.2 update rather than the main iOS 27 release. It has not yet been announced when the feature will be released or which iPhone models will support it.
