My eyes they are burning!
Totally... the color combination is a little on the harsh side.

Such colors. Much Unicorn.
Aside that functionality wise this looks hot! And someone should slap Jony Ive and try put some sense to him. This design trend is getting to a ridiculous proportion.
This is NOT easy on the eye. Nor is it good design.

If they can implement this seamlessly and beautifully as described ( the true Apple way) It has the potential for another revolution. However I don't see oxygen level, blood pressure, blood sugar etc useful or necessary for that matter for the mainstream user. After all those sensors are the difficult ones to implement anyway.

Could be - does nothing for me for credibility though
Hmmm
'a few renderings of the app said to be recreated from actual screenshots."
Why not just post the renderings. Why did someone "recreate" from actual screenshots.
Weird.
thank god I've been wanting to know my oxygen saturation!
So, you guys just steal eveything from 9to5 mac at this point. Why do I even follow you? Try doing some original reporting instead leeching off someone else's work.
That's because your young, but trust me the time will come soon enough....
Different parameters for different people all included for universal appeal at all ages and with any interest.......appeal for the masses.
Apples keynote will show how this new function works with their new iDevice. They'll tell how they had to invent a whole new category and reinvent the measuring instrument. They will then demo the iProbe... (insert joke here)
Apple fans will rush to the stores to be first and youtube will be awash with iProbe demo vids.
Apples competitors will be left in a spin as they never saw it coming. all the while they concentrated on external wearables when apple went internal.
iProbe, ask a genius for help in fitting
Maybe for you, but I'm really looking forward to this. I will likely use it on a daily basis if the functionality is there. This could potential replace three apps I currently use.
It's kind of interesting, but I hope Apple won't just throw together an app summarizing a lot of data. The true potential comes from making sense of this data in an accurate, sensible way. For example, if the app would learn my blood sugar level dips & spikes and what would be normal for me, it could warn me an hour in advance before it even starts dropping. "You're about to miss your lunch and it was already kind of so-so to begin with, so prepare for a headache if you don't listen to me."
Respiratory rate should tell you if you should adjust your rate when running to something optimal, and so on. It shouldn't just tell you what your respiratory rate is. That'd be useless in comparison.
So I hope they're thinking about these things. If they manage to pull everything together, the iPhone 6 could turn out to be a pretty nice "life device".
Surely you're not that health concious/paranoid? I mean, I can already tell if there is something wrong with me without a phone app that shares my medical information with Apple. Unless you're planning on moving somewhere without healthcare available, like Mars, I don't see how this could ever be useful, never mind on a daily basis.
You joke but this is really good stuff to know if you actually want to improve your health by doing cardio.thank god I've been wanting to know my oxygen saturation!

Respiratory rate should tell you if you should adjust your rate when running to something optimal in order to burn calories the best, and so on. It shouldn't just tell you what your respiratory rate is or paint a pretty graph. That'd be useless in comparison.
So I hope they're thinking about these things. If they manage to pull everything together, the iPhone 6 could turn out to be a pretty nice "life device". I hope it will be like a companion, a health coach talking back to me and giving me advice. Some particularly powerful advice could come from combining data from multiple data sources.

One would hope that's where Apple is going, especially with all the hires from the medical field they've made.
Exactly. Lots of tabs with data like pictured on those renderings are not very informative and would be useless for most people. The real winner would be a system giving a complete (as much as possible) picture of my health by cross-analysing all that data plus gender, age, weight etc. information inputted in the app. I'm sure Apple keeps that part of the app secret.
