Perplexity connects Apple Health & Fitbit
Perplexity Health now aggregates Apple Health and Fitbit data to deliver AI‑powered medical answers and personalized wellness plans—promises include evidence‑based insights drawn from your own wearable metrics (techstory.in). Coverage frames this as a step toward AI that uses continuous wearable data for actionable health guidance, not a replacement for clinicians (technobaboy.com).
Perplexity announced Perplexity Health on March 19, 2026 and said the feature is rolling out first to Pro and Max subscribers in the United States. (perplexity.ai (perplexity.ai 1) (perplexity.ai 2); macrumors.com (macrumors.com)) Perplexity Health runs atop the company’s Perplexity Computer agent platform and launches with connectors for Apple Health plus wearables and fitness apps such as Fitbit, Ultrahuman, Withings and Clue, via partners including Terra API. (thenextweb.com (thenextweb.com)) Perplexity’s announcement said the product can link to electronic health records from more than 1.7 million care providers through partners and direct integrations. (fortuneindia.com (fortuneindia.com)) b.well’s press release, which Perplexity named as a partner, states b.well’s national data network connects to more than 2.4 million provider connections and 350+ health plans and labs. (prnewswire.com (prnewswire.com)) Perplexity says health data used by Perplexity Health is encrypted in transit and at rest and that Enterprise data will never be used to train the company’s models, with user-level AI data retention configurable in account settings. (perplexity.ai help-center (perplexity.ai)) The company created a Perplexity Health Advisory Board of clinicians, researchers and health‑tech leaders to review clinical safeguards and said answers will cite clinical guidelines and peer‑reviewed sources. (gadgetbond.com (gadgetbond.com); macrumors.com (macrumors.com)) Perplexity’s launch follows earlier Apple Health integrations by other AI platforms this year — OpenAI’s ChatGPT Health in January 2026 and Microsoft’s Copilot Health in mid‑March — placing Perplexity among multiple vendors racing to add clinical connectors.
