Apple’s built-in Health app already offers services like step counting, setting and tracking your medication schedule and status, and monitoring menstrual cycles—pretty impressive stuff. But the future could be even more impressive. According to reports, Apple is currently considering a move into the healthcare space, potentially developing a redesigned health app that incorporates AI. In the future, Apple Health could transform into an AI Doctor, serving as your virtual health coach.
Apple Health App Is Evolving! iOS 19 May Bring AI Doctor
According to foreign media reports, Apple is currently testing a new initiative internally called “Project Mulberry,” which is expected to feature an AI-powered coach providing health and medical advice. Project Mulberry will collect data from users’ Apple Watch,Use data from iPhone, AirPods, etc. to analyze and provide tailored health recommendations.
Apple devices already track user information such as heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and calories burned, but for now this data is still only at the collection stage. In the future, the new Project Mulberry initiative will use this data to provide users with medical and health recommendations.
Apple’s goal is that once the AI coach launches, it can provide customized recommendations based on user data, and may add food tracking features in the future. Apple is currently using data from professional doctors to train Project Mulberry, and also hopes to find experts in sleep, nutrition, physical therapy, mental health, and cardiology to record videos about different health conditions. Through the collaboration of AI and real doctors, users can learn more about health knowledge.
According toForeign mediaAccording to reports, after Apple releases the iOS 19 operating system, we should see Project Mulberry. That being said, topics related to the medical field are currently quite sensitive, and the permissions granted by different countries vary. If Apple wants to roll out Project Mulberry globally, it may still face certain difficulties. However, we can still look forward to seeing whether the so-called AI Doctor will appear in the iOS 19 operating system.
