Apple is revamping its Health app with a new AI-powered agent codenamed ‘Mulberry’. The revamped app will provide personalized health coaching and recommendations to users, aiming to replace human medical professionals in some aspects. According to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is hiring experts, including doctors and nutritionists, to develop content for the Health app.
The AI agent, set to debut with iOS 19.4, will analyze user data from Apple Watch and other sources to provide tailored advice on health and wellness. To ensure accuracy, medical professionals will be hired to create videos for the app, covering topics such as sleep, nutrition, physical therapy, mental health, and cardiology.
Apple aims to minimize incorrect medical advice by leveraging this expertise. The revamped Health app is expected to arrive next spring with iOS 19.4, marking a significant shift in Apple’s approach to integrated health-focused features.
