Apple is working on a revision of his Health app for iOS 19.4. The central innovation is a AI-based health coach that gives personalized recommendations based on collected health data. The service should become a paid subscription offer as a “health+”.
In Cupertino you are planning a significant expansion of Apple’s health strategy. According to information from Bloomberg developed the group from Cupertino under the project name “Mulberry” a fundamental revision of its health app for iOS 19.4.
The new version is scheduled to appear in spring or summer 2026 and, as the core, has a AI-supported coaching system. The digital health coach evaluates the data recorded by iPhone, Apple Watch and compatible third-party devices. On this basis, the system creates individual recommendations to improve health. In addition, Apple offers expert videos that explain various health issues.
Apple sets up its own studio in Oakland for the production of the video content, around 80 kilometers from the headquarters in Cupertino. The group is currently looking for a well -known personality from the health sector as a moderator for the planned formats. The AI system is currently being trained with the support of Apple’s own doctors.
In the future, external experts from the areas of sleep, nutrition, physiotherapy, cardiology and mental health are to expand the system with their expertise. An important innovation is also the increased integration of nutrition data, which only played a subordinate role in the previous Health app. The revised app also uses the iPhone camera to give feedback on training units. This function could later be used in Apple Fitness+.
The extended health functions are to become part of a new subscription service, which is temporarily referred to as the “Apple Health+”. The project also bears the name “Quartz” internally and has been under development for several years. The presentation of the new service could take place during the WWDC 2025 in June, the start is planned for the early 2026 with iOS 19.4.
This would expand Apple its portfolio of subscription services alongside Apple Music, Apple TV+ and Apple Fitness+ and at the same time upgrade the all-in-one bundle “Apple One” and the Apple Intelligence. The initiative underlines Apple’s long -term goal of establishing the Apple Watch as a comprehensive health monitor. While some earlier health projects such as the development of a non-invasive glucose monitor have not yet reached market maturity, the AI-based health coach could be an important milestone.
