Apple Working on AI-Powered Health Coach for Health App
New Delhi: Apple is reportedly planning a major overhaul of its Health app, introducing an AI-powered health coach to provide personalized wellness guidance. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, this initiative, internally known as "Project Mulberry," aims to transform the Health app into a more interactive and insightful tool for users.
The AI coach will analyze health data collected from Apple devices, including iPhones, Apple Watches, and third-party products, to offer tailored recommendations for improving overall health. Features such as food tracking, workout analysis, and sleep optimization are expected to be part of the revamped app.
Apple is also reportedly developing educational content, with doctors recording videos to explain health conditions and provide actionable advice. The new service, tentatively named "Health+," is currently being tested and could debut with iOS 19.4, slated for release in spring or summer 2026. Apple is training the AI coach using data from in-house physicians and plans to collaborate with external experts specializing in nutrition, mental health, and cardiology.
This move aligns with CEO Tim Cook’s vision of making healthcare a significant contribution to society. With the Health app’s evolution, Apple aims to empower users with advanced tools to monitor and improve their well-being, setting a new benchmark in AI-driven health technology.
