Apple Is At It Again With Its Artificial (Say Apple!) Intelligence; Plans To Bring AI DOCTOR

With plans for its Apple Intelligence and Siri rollout literally being delayed again - a new report by Bloomberg has now revealed that Apple is looking to revamp its Health app. The trillion-dollar tech giant has plans to add an AI doctor-like service and falls in line with CEO Tim Cook's idea that healthcare will be Apple's biggest contribution to mankind.

In an exclusive Mad Money interview by Jim Cramer back in 2019, Cook had said, "I believe, if you zoom out into the future, and you look back, and you ask the question, 'What was Apple's greatest contribution to mankind?' it will be about health. 

According to a report by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg - although Apple has massive ambitions of adding a glucose monitor to the Apple Watch without the painful blood loss that usually comes with invasive techniques for blood glucose measurement, the company intends to make the best use of AI to improve users' lives.

Apple is planning to AI doctor its Apple Watch:

In the Bloomberg report, which talks about the possible shift towards AI, Apple is working on Project Mulberry, which will transform the entire Apple Health App, and will also add a health coach via an AI agent, aiming to simulate the analysis by a real doctor.

The report also states that the new upcoming Health app by Apple will be collecting data from all users' Apple devices - iPhone, Apple Watch, earbuds, and also third-party products. The AI agent will then use this data to build personalised recommendations to better the user's health.

How ready is AI Coach?

Apple is nurrently training its AI agent by using data from doctors on its staff, and plans to bring in doctors from the outside. The company is also reportedly opening up a new facility near Oakland, California, where doctors will shoot videos for the app, and is looking for a "great doctor personality" who will host the revamped Health app.

The Bloomberg report points to the fact that this could be an attempt to add a human angle to the Health App - something which Google and OpenAI have done to create human personas and voices for their chatbots.

The latest Health app is currently a priority for Sumbul Desai, who runs the Apple Health team. Jeff Williams, Apple's COO is also invested heavily in the project.

Gurman states that the development of the project is currently in process, and the newly revamped app could arrive as early as iOS 19.4. Apple's iOS 19 will make ground at the WWDC 2025 event which starts from June 9 to June 13. The stable update will subsequently arrive alongside the iPhone 17 in September.

Apple Intelligence is getting late day by day.

Although the tech giant has been patting itself on the back ever since the announcement of Apple Intelligence - not a lot has been seen on that front other than the cool animation and basic features of AI - nothing major has been released but at the same time we can see Google and Samsung make headlines with their new features.

Apple had initially revealed its AI plans with the launch of iOS 18 at its developer conference last year. At a time when Samsung and Google's Circle To Search were making waves in the smartphone industry, Apple's decision to delay AI features was met with a lot of optimism, considering its history of bringing completed features instead of half-baked ones.

But Apple Intelligence - Apple's own AI has not been the massive success as it was portrayed during the launch of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, mainly because a lot of features were working erratically, and Apple intends to iron out these issues before launching it for users.

For example, Apple's news summary feature, which was introduced with the iOS 18.3 beta update, caused a massive uproar when the BBC and other major news outlets blasted Apple for its summary feature  which was mostly inaccurate, causing the company to roll back that feature for news and entertainment apps.
