Apple's New AI Doctor 🤖

The next big health offering from Apple $AAPL ( ▲ 0.61% ) could be in the form of an artificial intelligence doctor.

Details: Bloomberg reported on Sunday that Apple is developing an AI doctor service as part of a major health app update as early as next year. The update, called Project Mulberry, includes an AI health coach offering personalized advice based on activity and wellness data.

Background: Apple’s stock is down 10% this year. One of the technology giant’s biggest sore spots is its AI, which is seen as lagging behind other competitors.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Apple's potential release of an AI doctor for health offerings would be significant.

  • This would align with Apple’s long-term vision of contributing meaningfully to healthcare, as emphasized by CEO Tim Cook.

  • The AI doctor positions Apple as a leader in digital health innovation. Apple could monetize its AI health offerings through subscription-based services, boosting profitability.

Final Thoughts: We’ll see if Apple discusses its new AI health ambitions during its next earnings call around the end of April.
