Perplexity launches Health AI for evidence-based medical advice

Perplexity has unveiled Perplexity Health, a new AI-powered service designed to deliver highly accurate medical answers grounded in evidence-based medicine. The platform integrates multiple health data sources to provide personalized, reliable health insights.

Perplexity Health aggregates data from various apps, devices, and platforms, tracking key health metrics over time. Using this information, its AI engine generates tailored recommendations and actionable health insights.

Apple Health is one of the primary data sources integrated into Perplexity Health. The company’s AI agent, known as Perplexity Computer, also crafts customized workout plans and nutrition advice. Initially, this service will be available to Pro and Max tier users in the U.S.

Future expansions will include support for platforms like Oura and Function, complementing current integrations with Apple Health, Fitbit, Ultrahuman, and Withings.

Accuracy is critical in healthcare. To ensure this, Perplexity trained its AI on data from over 1.7 million medical professionals' electronic health records, combined with scientific literature, clinical guidelines, and peer-reviewed studies. The company also established the Perplexity Health Advisory Board, composed of doctors, researchers, and medical technology experts who oversee content quality and clinical compliance.

This launch follows Perplexity’s recent partnership with Samsung, which integrated its AI assistant into the Galaxy AI ecosystem.
