Perplexity announced a new product called "Perplexity Health" on March 19, 2026 and said the feature is built on its Perplexity Computer agent framework and is initially rolling out to Pro and Max subscribers in the U.S. (perplexity.ai) The company struck a partnership with b.well Connected Health to pull electronic health records through b.well’s national network, which Perplexity and b.well say connects to more than 2.4 million providers and over 350 health plans, labs and institutions. (prnewswire.com) Perplexity said it ingests wearable and app data via third‑party platforms such as Terra API, and at launch listed support for apps including Ultrahuman, Withings and Clue with additional integrations like Oura and Function expected soon. (thenextweb.com) The company described data protections that require explicit user authorization, allow users to revoke access, and keep records encrypted during use; Perplexity framed the experience as consumer‑mediated access rather than third‑party data resale. (prnewswire.com) Perplexity also launched a Health Advisory Board of physicians, researchers and health‑tech leaders to “pressure‑test” product decisions and says answers will lean on clinical guidelines and peer‑reviewed literature with citations attached. (macrumors.com) Perplexity’s entry follows similar moves by other AI platforms this year, with the company positioned as the second major platform to add these kinds of personal‑health connectors after earlier health integrations from rival AI products.
