Apple readies AI health coach

Apple is expected to unveil a revamped Health app with an AI health coach next month, potentially turning the iPhone and Apple Watch from passive trackers into more active wellness guides. The significance is not just another app redesign: Apple already sits on daily heart-rate, activity, sleep and medication data for a huge installed base, and an AI coach could make that data feel more actionable. If the feature launches, it will intensify competition with fitness platforms, telehealth apps and insurers that want to own preventive care. It also raises the stakes for privacy, hallucination control and how far consumer software can go before it looks like medical advice.
