Apple to Revamp Health App with AI-Powered Doctor [Gurman]

Apple is working to overhaul its Health app and introduce an AI-powered health coach, according to a new report from Mark Gurman. In a newsletter to subscribers, Gurman detailed the company's ambitious plans to transform its health offerings, spotlighting a project that could mark a significant step toward CEO Tim Cook's vision of health care as Apple's greatest legacy.The initiative, internally known as Project Mulberry, involves a major redesign of the Health app paired with a new AI-driven health coach. Gurman noted that development is "full steam ahead," with a potential release tied to iOS 19.4, expected in spring or summer of 2026. The service aims to leverage data collected from devices like the iPhone, Apple Watch, and even third-party products to deliver personalized health advice. "The AI coach will use that information to offer tailor-made recommendations about ways to improve health," Gurman wrote, hinting at a system designed to mimic aspects of a real doctor's guidance.Apple's health team, led by Sumbul Desai with oversight from COO Jeff Williams, is prioritizing this project above nearly all else. The company is training the AI agent using input from in-house physicians and plans to incorporate external experts in fields like sleep, nutrition, and cardiology. These specialists will produce video content to educate users on conditions and lifestyle changes. For example, Gurman explained, "If the Health app receives data about poor heart-rate trends, a video explaining the risks of heart disease could appear." A new facility near Oakland, California, is being set up to film this content, and Apple is searching for a prominent doctor to host the service, tentatively called "Health+."Continue ReadingSpotlight Deal:Lowest Prices Ever: Apple Pencil Pro Just $79.99, USB-C Pencil Only $49.99 [Deal]Share Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, EmailFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube
