Apple is gradually adding more and more health-focused features to its products, monitoring heart rate, a hearing-help facility from SPO2 data and ECG and even in the health matrix in the health app of the iPhone. Now, in an attempt to take things forward, Apple is working on a new AI-operated doctor allegedly designed to provide personal health guidance.

In his latest power on the letter, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg noted that Apple is still working on his greatest health metric – a health coach is integrated in the health app on the iPhone. According to Gurman, this feature may be similar to a virtual doctor, which provides insight based on the health data of users. The report states that Apple is real medical professional to train its health AI device.

Over the years, Apple has pushed its wear like Apple Watch and AirPods for new health-tracking facilities such as ECG monitoring and fall detection. However, according to Gurman, Apple’s long -term vision extends beyond passive data collection. The company is now focused on offering health advice run by Artificial Intelligence.

As part of this mission, Apple is working on a improved health app, which has been named Project Mulberry. This new feature will probably be deeply integrated into iOS 19. The overhaul includes an AI health coach that will analyze the health data stored in the iPhone and provide analog recommendations to improve fitness, nutrition and overall well -being.

How will AI doctors work in iPhone?

The AI ​​health coach described in Gurman’s report will serve as a virtual medical assistant within the health app. This will analyze data collected from iPhone, Apple Watch and potentially other health-tracking goods. By taking advantage of Apple’s machine learning abilities, AI doctor will generate adapted health insight for users based on factors such as heart rate pattern, sleep cycle and activity levels.

Meanwhile, to ensure accuracy, Apple has allegedly recruited a team of physicians to help train the AI ​​model. The company is also bringing external medical professionals, including experts of sleep science, nutrition, physical therapy, cardiology and mental health to contribute to educational materials.

Gurman revealed that within Apple, some employees are reportedly referred to as the AI-operated health coach as “health+”. However it is not clear whether it will be a separate membership-based service or a free addition to the health app.

While the improvement of the Apple Health App will be important, Bloomberg reports that one of the most anticipated new features is the food tracking. Currently Apple does not have a dedicated calorie and food intake tracking system, but it is expected to be a major addition in the overhaul of the health app. The users will be able to log on their food, while AI will provide auxiliary nutritional insights and suggest healthy options.
