Apple is reportedly developing a health coaching service that will be powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and designed to motivate users to exercise, improve their eating habits, and sleep better.
The project, codenamed “Quartz,” will use data from the Apple Watch to create customised coaching programmes for individual users, according to Bloomberg.
This move is part of Apple’s broader health initiative, which has made health and wellness features a focal point of its devices, particularly the Apple Watch.
In addition, Apple is expanding its health app to the iPad and adding features to assist users with poor vision.
An Apple spokesperson declined to comment on the company’s plans. The service is scheduled to launch next year, but it could be delayed or cancelled.
The project is being led by several Apple teams, including those responsible for health, Siri, AI, and services. Additionally, the company is planning to release an iPad version of the iPhone health app later this year as part of iPadOS 17.
The app is crucial to Apple’s health efforts since it serves as a repository for fitness data and outside health records, as well as a portal for users to share information with their doctors. The goal is to increase the app’s popularity in healthcare settings, where tablets have become more common.
