How is he? vs How is he doing?

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'How is he?' is a more general question about someone's well-being or health, while 'How is he doing?' is a more specific question about someone's current situation or state. The choice between the two phrases depends on the level of detail you'd like to ask about.
