      The next frontier for AI services seems to be health. Recently, Microsoft introduced Copilot Health, a service that processes your health data from diverse sources to create actionable insights.

      Now, Perplexity has launched Perplexity Health, a collection of connectors that connects your personal health data directly to Perplexity Computer, providing answers that are specifically tailored to you.

      How does Perplexity Health differ from a typical AI health search?

      Currently, your health data is scattered across various platforms: lab results are found in one portal, prescriptions in another, and fitness information is located in a separate application. Perplexity Health consolidates all this information, revealing insights that might otherwise go unnoticed.

      At its launch, it connects with Apple Health, electronic health records from over 1.7 million care providers, and platforms like Fitbit, Ultrahuman, and Withings, with Oura and Function integration coming soon.

      When you ask a health-related question, it cross-references information from your activity trackers, lab results, and medical history to deliver a personalized and comprehensive answer. For instance, a query about your resting heart rate could consider your recent activities, cardiac history, and the latest bloodwork, according to the press release.

      Additionally, it will generate a personalized dashboard that monitors your biomarkers and activity trends over time, giving you a complete overview.

      Should you trust the responses it provides?

      According to the press release, answers produced by Perplexity Health are based on clinical guidelines and peer-reviewed studies, not on SEO-optimized articles designed to rank highly on Google. It also mentions that “Each response includes citations linked to the source material, allowing you to explore the basis of the answer.”

      Perplexity has formed a Health Advisory Board consisting of physicians, researchers, and health technology experts to guide product development and maintain clinical standards.

      Concerning data privacy, Perplexity assures that it is encrypted both in transit and at rest, will not be used to train AI models, and will not be sold to third parties. You can unlink any source or erase your information at any time.

      Personally, I would recommend waiting a few months to observe how things develop before granting any AI service access to my health records. However, if you prefer to try it now, Perplexity Health on Computer will be available to Pro and Max users in the U.S. in the upcoming weeks.
