New Delhi: Perplexity has recently unveiled its Perplexity Health, a latest feature that connects the users’ personal health data to its AI platform, enabling queries to be answered using information from sources such as Apple Health, medical records, and wearable devices.
The feature is being rolled out as part of its Perplexity Computer tool, and it will initially be available to the Pro and Max users in the US, with wider availability expected over time.
Perplexity Health is especially designed to bring together health-related data, which is typically spread across multiple platforms. It is going to include data from Apple Health, electronic health records, and wearable platforms such as Fitbit, Ultrahuman, and Withings.
It is also going to support services like OURA, and Function is expected to be added later. The system also aggregates this data into a single interface and enables users to ask health-related questions. The responses are generated using a combination of personal health data, medical records, lab results, and activity metrics.
Perplexity Health is integrated into the Perplexity Computer, which is described as a system that uses AI agents to perform tasks such as research and analysis. The users can generate outputs such as summaries before the doctor’s visit, training plans based on the fitness data, or personalized nutrition suggestions.
This system can also be used to search for the relevant medical information based on the user’s data.
It is based on clinical guidelines and peer-reviewed research and includes citations linked to source material. These responses might include guidance on when the users should seek professional medical care. Health data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, with access controls in place.
The users can disconnect linked services or delete their data at any time. Personal Health data is not used to train AI models and is not sold to third parties.
Perplexity Health will initially roll out to Pro and Max subscribers in the US over the coming weeks, with plans to expand to additional users and regions later.
