Apple to Expand Health Initiatives With AI Health Coach, Report Says

Posted on by Betty W. McBryde

Apple is expanding its health and wellness efforts with a motivational coaching service that’ll use artificial intelligence to improve your exercise, diet and sleep, according to a report.

The service, called Quartz for now, uses AI and data collected from the company’s Apple Watch to curate specific wellness plans for users, according to a Tuesday bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-25/apple-aapl-developing-ai-health-coaching-service-ipados-17-health-app” class=”c-regularLink”report by Bloomberg, which cited people with knowledge of Apple’s plans. This means Apple AI could be suggesting nutrition, fitness or sleep hacks for you — which on paper isn’t too far a jump from the powerful health data that wearables have been providing for years. 

Quartz is reportedly planned for next year but could still be postponed or canceled. It’s also reported to carry a monthly fee. 

An AI health coach would still be a big step for Apple, which has been increasing its presence in the health realm

Apple Health Update Could See AI Wellness Coach for Users

Posted on by Betty W. McBryde

Apple is reportedly working on enhancing its stronghold in the health industry with an AI-based motivational coaching service aimed at improving exercise, diet and sleep, according to a apple-aapl-developing-ai-health-coaching-service-ipados-17-health-app?leadSource=uverify%20wall”report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

Dubbed ‘Quartz’, Apple’s new AI coaching service is part of the company’s push into health. Apple has already made health the focus of their devices like the Apple Watch and with updated fall and crash detection capabilities.

‘Quartz’ will use artificial intelligence and data from users’ Apple Watches to make informed suggestions and create coaching and wellness plans that are tailored to their specific needs, according to the report which includes anonymous information from people with knowledge of Apple’s plans.

As these are still early unconfirmed reports, ‘Quartz’ is slated for release next year but can be postponed or even cancelled.

Posted on by Betty W. McBryde

Apple is developing an “AI-powered health coach” that will offer personalized advice for improving exercise, diet, and sleep, according to a Bloomberg report on Tuesday.

Sources claiming to have knowledge of the matter told the news site’s Apple insider Mark Gurman that the new service — reportedly codenamed Quartz — will use AI technology with health data gathered by Apple’s smartwatch to make the company’s health platform even more useful.

The AI-powered health coach may require a monthly subscription and could launch in 2024, Gurman said, though he cautioned that Apple could change course at any time and postpone its release or even cancel the plan altogether.

What seems more certain is Apple’s reported initiative to bring the Health app to the iPad this year, as part of iOS 17’s release in the fall.

Posted on by Betty W. McBryde

The offering will reportedly require a subscription and launch sometime in 2024, provided nothing changes.

In the near term, the Health app may become more useful. Apple is finally bringing Health to the iPad with this year’s iPadOS 17 release, the insiders say. A further update will supposedly help you track your mood by answering questions about your day. You may also use Health to manage vision issues like nearsightedness. A recent rumor also hinted that Apple may release a journaling app to help document your days, much like Day One.

Apple has already declined to comment. If the claims are accurate,

Apple’s Rumored AI Health Coach Is a Privacy Minefield

Posted on by Betty W. McBryde

Apple is working on an AI-based wellness “coach” that could push its obsession with health to the next level, service-ipados-17-health-app?srnd=technology-vp&sref=nF2P89s4″Bloomberg reports. The new program would leverage information Apple is already able to collect with an Apple Watch to tailor programs to individual customers.

Alongside this year’s software updates — and, assuming it happens, a VR headset launch — Apple is continuing to chip away at what CEO Tim Cook has described as the company’s greatest “contribution”: health services. Until now, that’s mostly been expressed in the Apple Watch’s variety of proactive health features and compact sensors, but this proposed service would change how Apple use’s customers’ private data, maybe even challenge the company’s own rigorous privacy principles.

Apple plans AI-powered health coaching service and mood tracker

Posted on by Betty W. McBryde

The app is central to the company’s health efforts, serving as a repository for fitness data collected by the Apple Watch and outside health records.

It also serves as a portal for users to share information with their doctors. 

The tools for tracking emotion and managing vision conditions, such as near-sightedness, will be added to the health app this year.

The initial version of the emotion tracker will let users log their mood, answer questions about their day, and compare the results over time.

But in the future, Apple is hoping the iPhone could use algorithms to determine a user’s mood via their speech, what words they have typed and other data on their devices. 

Apple is aiming to unveil the new iPad app, and the tools for managing emotion and vision, in June at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference.

But the coaching service, a more significant step, would

Posted on by Betty W. McBryde

Apple has been making aggressive moves to push further into health, fitness, and wellness services. Its Fitness+ workout subscription service has expanded to more devices and no longer requires an Apple Watch. Rumor has it that iOS 17 will include a new journaling app, often considered a key mental health exercise (though Apple may not present it as such). Now, news comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman that Apple is planning a new AI-Powered health coaching service, new technology for tracking emotions and moods, and finally, an iPad version of the Health app.

The coaching service, code-named Quartz, is said to use data from Apple Watch and the Health app to “make suggestions and create coaching programs tailored to specific users,” according to the report. The report says the service will carry its own monthly fee and have its own app, though it’s possible that this could be interpreted
