Apple has been one of the most transformative companies of our lifetime. Products like iPhone, iPad and iPod have installed or converted the entire segments of the technology market, but the company’s greatest impact may be in health.
Smartwatch and fitness trackers were first present long before Apple Watch, but turned into apple’s health location of how we live in shape. As the popularity of Apple Watch and iPhone has increased, they have their usefulness in management of your health, especially third-party app developers and equipment manufacturers have created new experiences.
However, the Apple Health is exceeding only the Apple Watch, and the latest report of Mark Gurman shows that Apple is working as a new AI-run doctor as part of a new Apple health. Why is it here that your health can change.
Integration with every third-party
What do you use to track your health? I use an Apple Watch for many things, but I also have a fitbit. I use a dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to track my blood sugar, as well as an Aura ring or ringcon gene 2, and all of these also sink data for Apple Health.
Then, your medical chart is integration with the provider, which remains the greatest strength of Apple Health. It is widely available in the US, but limited globally, and it allows you to see all health data directly from your medical records in your health app on your iPhone.
I am using Apple Watch and Apple’s health to manage my health because I had a heart attack four years ago. Integration with your health provider and your conditions, testing results and ability to draw and display medications means that apple health for your overall picture of your health can be a single source of truth.
In addition to some Android-specific brands, most health products are integrated with apple health. Many best scales can directly sync your latest weight readings to Apple Health, while CGM, other fitness trackers, smart rings and medical devices can all add valuable data to your iPhone’s health records.
More accurate than your doctor
AI will essentially prevalent in every aspect of life, but the integration of Apple Health and the wide access to reach a special defect in the current healthcare system.
After my heart attack, I realized that the major problems with universal methods that doctors collected data are that it lacks adequate reference. If you have put weight since your last trip, your doctor cannot dig greatly in it and ask to try and shed a few pounds. However, being able to see your weight in several months may allow your doctor to catch any possible issues quickly.
The same applies to blood pressure machines and cardiac measuring devices such as cardia mobile 6-Leed portable EKG and CGM. Two large CGM manufacturers allow your doctor to directly reach your blood sugar data, widely used by most endocrinologists who prescribe CGMs to their patients.
Apple Health has more information than your doctor, but significantly, it is far more accurate and relevant. Scales such as withing body scans can just track more than your weight; They also take EKG, capture a body scan, and provide granular information about many major health matrix. This data can be integrated into your iPhone and made accessible to AI.
Integration is the key
Apple’s ability to persuade medical institutions and government bodies to embrace technology in the medical industry has been important for the price of Apple Watch and Apple Health.
Many established medical businesses have such procedures and procedures that require extensive resources to maintain, but the Apple – as well as Samsung and Google – have resources and desire to help in changing impact changes. The result is that Apple Watch has saved many lives, and this integration will be important for an AI-managed doctor.
Imagine to be able to ask your iPhone as to why you have a specific symptom, such as large headache, fatigue or dizziness. Your doctor will then ask some follow-up questions and write something or, in some cases, will conduct further investigations. In a few weeks or months, further follow -up and some similar questions and tests should be repeated.
Now, imagine a world where it is AI-in-manipulation and very simple. AI can monitor the patient in a constant background and consistently alert the doctor if something happens to further check. Instead of waiting until you see a problem, your iPhone can help you and your doctor catch up quickly and hopefully the chances of complete recovery will increase.
The main features I would like Apple AI Doctor
Second, I think the ideal form for Apple’s AI-run doctor is not to change your existing healthcare provider. Rather, it should increase how you and your doctor communicate and work together to solve your health. There are some details about what Apple AI doctors will do, but after spending a wider time in the medical system as a patient, I can think of some characteristics that I hope that works on Apple.
First of all, I want to make sure that my doctor can automatically see all the information in the Apple Health App. The weight in my medical records should be the average of my daily recording, not a figure from an arbitrary moment. My blood pressure, blood sugar and EKG reading will be more useful if doctors and advisors can see data from my Apple Watch.
Second, I want to ask the AI doctor questions about my health in a converted tone. Improved health apps will also focus on food intake, and as diabetes, AI can change your health over time, being able to ask AI about the effects of specific foods, activities, or habits.
Third, I want Apple to integrate this AI with diabetic apps. So far, my biggest health problem is diabetes. Although it is under control, and during a heart attack I had more harm to my heart, diabetes is a deadly disease, and I would prefer to be able to use Apple Health+ as my doctor, which is available 24/7.
Although I want it to work with all the apps, the important facility I get is for diabetic patients, because how can AI change how we self-care. I cover long distances, but I can’t ask about my blood sugar while driving with Siri. On a long drive, I should be careful that my blood sugar does not crash while driving and I stop any time to match with freeway services. I have to do it manually while driving or leaving, but I really want to ask when I hope that I need to eat.
It is unclear what AI doctors of Apple will be able to do – and whether the company will also launch it – but the ability for an AI doctor in your pocket all the time can change the ability to change how we manage our health. I am particularly excited to see how it develops into a patient and how I can integrate it in my health.
