health bar

Damage capacity indicator

A health bar is a visual indicator in video games showing a character's remaining vitality, typically displayed as a colored bar that depletes when damage is taken: My health bar was almost empty, so I hid behind cover.

The concept has spread to figurative use for any measure of energy or endurance: After that meeting, my mental health bar is critically low.
