AI as a health consultant
The Health app has always recorded vital data such as heart rate, weight and fitness activities with the help of the iPhone and the Apple Watch. So far, however, users had to decide for themselves what they wanted to do with this information. This is exactly where Apple’s revised app should start: With the help of artificial intelligence, users should receive personalized health recommendations in the future. The AI should behave like a digital “coach” or “doctor”, explains Gurman.
