By day three, HealthLens starts identifying patterns in your health data. You'll begin to see:
- Which nights of good sleep have the biggest impact on your biological age
- How your activity levels throughout the day affect your age delta
- The relationship between your meals and your biological age
Check your 7-day trend chart to visualize your progress. The AI will start providing personalized insights about what's working and what needs adjustment.
