AbleYears iPhone App

Tell AbleYears what you want to keep doing from 50 through 70, 80 and 90, and get a clear, personal plan to stay able:

 

GOALS FIRST

• Pick what you want to keep doing: travel, walk several miles, climb stairs, drive, play pickleball, tennis or golf, hike, garden, cook, keep working, play with grandchildren, keep up friendships, stay sharp, or add your own

• Choose the ages that matter for each goal, decade by decade

• Rank your goals so your plan focuses on what matters most

• Change your goals any time

 

ABILITY TRAJECTORY

• See each goal as Strong, On Track or At Risk for every decade ahead

• Learn the main ability behind each status, in plain words

• See your decades at a glance: "Your 70s: On track for 3 of 4 goals"

• Honest confidence notes when there isn't enough data yet

 

ABLEYEARS INDEX™ AND ABILITY PROFILE

• One score from 0 to 100 across seven areas: Move, Heart, Recover, Mind, Connect, Protect and Live, weighted toward your goals

• Your Ability Profile: lower-body strength, balance, walking speed and endurance, stair climbing, hand and arm strength, cardio fitness, sleep and recovery, mental sharpness and connection

• Open each area to see what's behind it, and follow your history over time

• Every score says how sure it is, from early estimate to high confidence

 

NEXT BEST ACTION™ AND YOUR ACTION PLAN

• One clear action each week, chosen for the goals you care about most

• Step-by-step instructions, a weekly target and a safety note for every action

• Tap to log what you've done and watch your week fill in

• An Action Library of nearly 50 actions across Move, Heart, Recover, Mind, Connect and Protect

 

ABILITY CHECKS AT HOME

• The 30-second chair stand, the four-stage balance test, the single-leg stand and grip strength (grip needs a hand grip meter)

• Spoken, step-by-step instructions, with your choice of voice and speed

• See how your result compares with published results for people your age

• Safety first: after a recent fall, balance tests are left to your clinician

 

APPLE HEALTH, OR NOT

• Uses your steps, walking speed and steadiness, stair speed, exercise minutes, cardio fitness (VO₂ max), resting heart rate, blood pressure, sleep, time in daylight and workouts, only with your permission

• Reads Apple Health and never writes to it

• Works without Apple Health too: Ability Checks plus a 60-second weekly check-in

• Notices trends and changes as new data arrives

 

"WHAT IF?" SCENARIOS

• See how a habit would change your outlook: "What if I strength-train twice a week?"

• Try more active minutes or more daily steps and watch your goals respond

• Compare cardio and strength to see which matters more for your goals

• Cautious, typical and optimistic outlooks, so you see the range, not a promise

 

ABLECOACH, YOUR PRIVATE AI COACH

• Ask about your results, your plan and the evidence behind them

• Answers written on your iPhone, with Apple Intelligence on supported models, using only your own results

• Suggested questions to get you started

• Medical questions are kindly pointed to your doctor

 

REPORTS TO SHARE

• A clear summary for your doctor (PDF): your Ability Profile, check results and things to discuss

• The Monthly AbleYears Report: a look back at your month and what changed

• A family update card: what you're keeping up for and doing this week, with no scores and nothing clinical

• Export all your data any time

 

REMINDERS AND WIDGETS

• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with this week's action and your progress

• Gentle reminders when your weekly plan is ready and when it's time for an Ability Check

 

EVIDENCE YOU CAN READ

• Tap "Why?" on any score or action for a plain-English reason and its source

• Targets come from published guidance such as the CDC STEADI toolkit and the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans

 

SAFETY BUILT IN

• Tell AbleYears about a recent fall, chest pain during activity, fainting or a sudden change in how you feel, and it pauses exercise suggestions and suggests you talk to your doctor

• A wellness app, not a medical device: no diagnoses, no scare tactics

 

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• Your health data stays on your iPhone or iPad

• No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking

• Labeled "Data Not Collected" on the App Store

 

EASY TO READ AND USE

• Large text, big buttons and plain language

• Full VoiceOver support, even at the largest text sizes

• Made for iPhone and iPad
