Perplexity, an AI company, has unveiled a new feature called Perplexity Health, which allows users to access their health data from various sources, including Apple Health. This integration aims to provide a comprehensive view of health metrics by aggregating data from different applications, devices, and portals.
Perplexity Health enables users to track health metrics and trends over time, displaying this information on a personalized dashboard. When users pose health-related inquiries, the system can utilize data from medical records, lab results, and wearable devices to generate informed responses. Additionally, through Perplexity Computer, the AI agent tool, users can receive tailored fitness and nutrition plans based on their health information.
Integration and Supported Devices
The initial rollout of Perplexity Health is targeted at Pro and Max users in the United States. The feature connects seamlessly with Apple Health, allowing it to integrate data collected from the Apple Watch and other compatible devices. Furthermore, it supports data from Fitbit, Ultrahuman, and Withings, as well as electronic health records from over 1.7 million healthcare providers. Future integrations with Oura and Function are also planned.
Data Security and Compliance
Perplexity emphasizes the importance of data security, stating that all health data is encrypted. Users have strict access controls and can manage or delete their information at any time. Notably, health information is not utilized for training AI models nor sold to third parties, addressing privacy concerns.
Expert Oversight
To ensure the quality and reliability of its health-related content, Perplexity has formed a Health Advisory Board comprising physicians, researchers, and health technology experts. This board is tasked with evaluating product decisions, content quality, and adherence to evidence-based medicine standards.
Perplexity Health marks the second integration of an AI service with Apple Health, following the introduction of a similar feature by OpenAI in early 2026.
