Apple expands Health app languages and adds at-home physical movement tests

Apple has expanded language support for its redesigned Health app across iPhone and iPad. The update brings coverage to global English, French, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Personalized insights and daily habits

The revised application relies on Apple Intelligence to customize feedback using individual metrics. A new Insights section presents rolling summaries covering sleep, heart metrics, daily readiness, fitness, vitals, and menstrual cycle tracking.

Alongside these metrics, a dedicated For You area generates tailored suggestions based on routines. For example, it can advise users to modify evening wind-down habits after several nights of broken sleep. The platform also provides educational articles and videos created with clinical professionals.

Longevity tracking and movement tests

The update introduces a Longevity tab designed to track long-term health trends across categories such as nutrition, mental wellbeing, metabolic markers, and hearing. A core tool in this view is Health Age, which compares a user’s chronological age against physical markers collected by an Apple Watch, including resting heart rate, sleep patterns, and heart rate variability. Users can also enter lab test results, such as LDL cholesterol and A1c levels.

Apple has also built at-home movement assessments directly into the app. By combining an iPhone camera with an Apple Watch, the system evaluates:

• Flexibility, balance, and general movement mechanics
• Muscular strength
• Cardiovascular capacity through estimated VO2 max

These evaluations process video locally on the device using computer vision models. The company stated that no video is recorded, saved, or uploaded. The redesigned app is currently in developer beta for iOS 27.3 and will launch as a free update for all users later this year.
