en.Wedoany.com Reported - Earlier this year, Apple and Google announced that Google's Gemini would power the next generation of Siri. The editor noted that while it's common for companies to use each other's software, Apple is no ordinary company; now that AI has saturated Android hardware and Apple's own resources are running low, it's time to strike a deal. As a health editor, what interests them most are the health and fitness features that Google's Siri overhaul could bring, and they believe that testing Google's AI health coach has proven that health AI can serve as a useful tool: simply a chatbot that connects sleep, exercise, and stress data, capable of asking context-aware questions and providing personalized answers.
The editor expressed a strong desire to see a revamped Health app, similar to what Google did with the Fitbit app, leveraging data already collected from Apple Watch to drive new daily metrics, connect information across apps, or offer new insights. A health chatbot could be integrated into the Health app, but Apple needs to configure Gemini to be as private, secure, and encrypted as its own products—a key reason many choose Apple over Android devices, and a major challenge for this partnership. The editor hopes Apple will address this when showcasing the rumored health-related AI assistant.
The health assistant could interact across apps like Health, Journal, and Apple Watch Fitness, recording information without requiring users to manually input data across different apps. For example, when logging a mood in the Journal app, the health AI could correlate that mood with physiological data from the user's Health, Sleep, or Workout apps. Building on the sleep scoring feature Apple introduced in September, the editor also hopes Apple will integrate more smartwatch data into daily summaries, noting that features like daily activity summaries, bedtime suggestions, and multi-activity reminders were well-received during testing of Fitbit Air and Google Health Premium.
The editor believes that Apple's positioning in the health ecosystem emphasizes privacy and a science-backed approach, and hopes to see research-supported readiness scores, stress monitoring, or a more powerful health recommendation engine. Oura and Google Health apps have already demonstrated that users gain more value from health devices when data is presented in an interactive and easy-to-understand manner. Oura features tabs for daily sleep, activity, and stress scores, tabs for short-term aggregation of key biometrics, and longitudinal health tabs. The editor concluded that if Apple can successfully build its health coach and redesign the Health app, it will serve as a solid foundation for future wearable devices.
