Apple is developing an AI-powered coach to advise users on health improvement, as part of its efforts to turn its products into health tools. The new initiative, called Project Mulberry, uses artificial intelligence to interpret and provide insights from a person’s health data. Apple plans to integrate the AI coach with its Health app, which tracks various metrics such as heart rate and blood oxygen levels.
The goal is for the AI coach to analyze this data and offer personalized advice on how to improve overall health. The system will reportedly include food tracking and be trained on data from medical devices and staff physicians. Apple has been gradually adding AI features to its products, including a non-invasive continuous glucose monitoring system for the Apple Watch.
Industry analysts believe that Apple’s efforts in AI are years behind other tech companies, but the company is expected to announce new AI-powered features at its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9. With the integration of Project Mulberry with the Health app, Apple aims to make its products more health-focused and user-friendly.
