Key point — Apple updated the Health app to use Apple Intelligence for summarizing data via Insights and Longevity (Health Age) tabs, alongside new, more frequent heart sensors on Series 12/Ultra 4, with watchOS 27 shipping September 14.
Why it matters — Apple is tackling the problem of health data piling up faster than people know what to do with it, by having AI distill it into daily recommendations and easy-to-understand comparative numbers.
Limitations — New sensors are exclusive to Series 12/Ultra 4 · Full Health features require an Apple Intelligence-capable device · Lab test ordering is US-only.
