Perplexity links EHRs to Apple Health
Perplexity Health rolled out a platform that aggregates EHRs and wearable data (including Apple Health) to give users personalized AI answers and trend spotting—turning scattered records into context-aware insights. This raises the technical bar for symptom trackers that want to surface actionable correlations across portals, apps, and devices. ( )
Perplexity announced a formal partnership with b.well Connected Health on March 19, 2026 to surface clinical data into its new Health offering. (prnewswire.com)) b.well said its network connects to more than 2.4 million providers and upwards of 350 health plans and labs, data Perplexity will leverage for patient‑specific answers. (morningstar.com)) Perplexity described the underlying connectors as FHIR‑based and launch coverage lists supported consumer apps and wearables including Fitbit, Ultrahuman, Withings and Clue via partners such as Terra and b.well. (prnewswire.com)) The Health feature is beginning a U.S. rollout to Perplexity’s Pro and Max subscribers over the coming weeks rather than an immediate global release. (neowin.net)) Perplexity has assembled a Health Advisory Board of clinicians and health‑tech experts to provide clinical oversight and evidence‑based guardrails for health answers. (gadgetbond.com)) Perplexity and b.well framed the launch as “privacy‑first” and consumer‑mediated access in their press materials, while Perplexity’s privacy policy states it will receive health, genetic, and biometric information when users explicitly consent and upload such data. (prnewswire.com)) Analysts and outlets noted regulatory and liability questions in reaction to the launch, with coverage flagging privacy and clinical‑responsibility concerns from WebProNews and AppleInsider. (webpronews.com)) Perplexity’s broader balance sheet shows substantial capital to build and scale these features—public data trackers list total funding around $1.22 billion across multiple rounds through late 2025.
