Perplexity published the Perplexity Health announcement on March 19, 2026, describing the new suite of personal-health connectors and product goals. (perplexity.ai) The company said the launch includes connectors for Apple Health and integrations with platforms including Fitbit, Ultrahuman, Withings and Clue, with planned support for ŌURA and Function. (perplexity.ai) Perplexity confirmed some integrations are delivered via third‑party aggregators such as Terra API, which provides a unified gateway to fitness‑tracker and wearable data. (thenextweb.com) Perplexity’s blog states the product can draw on electronic health records from “over 1.7 million care providers,” while partner b.well says its national data network spans more than 2.4 million provider connections and 350 health plans, labs and other sources. (perplexity.ai) Perplexity described Perplexity Health as running on its Perplexity Computer agent platform and said the feature will roll out in the U.S. to Pro and Max subscribers over the coming weeks. (perplexity.ai) The company published specific privacy controls, saying health data is encrypted in transit and at rest, can be disconnected or deleted by users, and “is never used to train AI models or sold to third parties.” (perplexity.ai) Perplexity also announced a Perplexity Health Advisory Board made up of practicing physicians, researchers and health‑tech leaders to pressure‑test product decisions, content quality and clinical safeguards. (perplexity.ai) Its b.well partner emphasized consumer‑mediated access and the ability for users to explicitly authorize and revoke Perplexity’s access to their records as part of the integration.
