Apple is reportedly considering developing a health coaching service powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The planned service will read data collected from Apple Watch users, such as their sleep patterns, exercise routine, diet, and emotions, and make personalized recommendations for more healthy habits. Dubbed “Quartz”, the initiative is set to debut some time in 2021.
The newest Apple Watch models already come with a heart rate monitor, fertility tracker, temperature sensor, and an electrocardiogram app. They may also be able to detect falls and medical emergencies and automatically call help when needed.
The planned “emotion log” feature will ask users to rate their day and store their mood in the device. In addition, Apple is considering introducing ways to read users’ mood through their speech and typed words, as well as other device data. Apple is also considering introducing the ability to read blood pressure and glucose levels without the need for an external device.
Steve Wozniak, who is the co-founder of Apple and left the business in 1983, joined over 1,000 industry leaders, including Elon Musk, in an open letter calling for AI development to be paused for six months to address certain issues. Tim Cook was notably absent from among the signatures.
Apple is a multinational technology company founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne. Headquartered in Cupertino, California, the company designs, develop, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and online services. It is one of the most valuable companies in the world and the first public company to hit the $2 trillion market capitalization mark.
