Apple is working on a major upgrade to its Health app, which could include an AI-powered health coach, according to a new report. This initiative, called Project Mulberry, aims to provide users with health recommendations using AI.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman shared details about this update in his Power On newsletter. He revealed that Apple’s new AI agent will act like a virtual doctor, analysing health data and offering tailored advice. “The initiative is called Project Mulberry, and it involves a completely revamped Health app plus a health coach. The service would be powered by a new AI agent that would replicate—at least to some extent—a real doctor,” Gurman said.
The update could arrive as early as iOS 19.4, which is expected in spring or summer of next year.

How it will work
The Health app will continue collecting data from devices like the iPhone, Apple Watch, and even third-party products. However, with AI assistance, users will likely get more advanced health insights.
“The idea is this: The Health app will continue to collect data from your devices (whether that’s the iPhone, Apple Watch, earbuds or third-party products), and then the AI coach will use that information to offer tailor-made recommendations about ways to improve health,” Gurman explained.
Apple is training its AI using data from in-house physicians and plans to bring in external experts from various fields, including sleep, nutrition, mental health, and cardiology. These specialists will create educational videos to help users understand health conditions and ways to improve their well-being.

For instance, if a user’s heart rate trends indicate potential risks, the app will likely display a video explaining heart disease and how to prevent it. Apple is also looking for a well-known doctor to be the face of this feature, according to the report.
The new AI-powered coaching service could be part of a subscription model called Health+. Additionally, features such as food tracking, AI-driven nutrition advice, and workout analysis using the iPhone’s camera could be included.
