James Park and Eric Friedman, the co‑founders of Fitbit, have introduced Luffu, an intelligent family‑care system that aggregates health data from wearables, Apple Health, Fitbit, and user‑entered inputs. The platform uses artificial intelligence to organize information, answer personalized health questions, and issue proactive alerts for medication adherence and potential health issues. Currently in private testing, Luffu will launch as a mobile app with plans to add complementary hardware devices. Leer más →

OpenAI’s 2026 strategy, outlined by CFO Sarah Friar, centers on practical AI adoption across health, science, and enterprise. The company is investing heavily in infrastructure—about $1.4 trillion in commitments as of November—and aims to close the gap between AI capabilities and real‑world use. User metrics are at all‑time highs, driven by a flywheel of compute, research, products, and monetization. New initiatives include advertising, the worldwide ChatGPT Go subscription, and emerging business models such as licensing, IP agreements, and outcome‑based pricing. OpenAI also hints at hardware devices developed with designer Jony Ive. Leer más →

OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Health, a separate space within its AI chatbot that lets users link medical records and wellness apps for more personalized health‑related answers. The company says the feature includes extra privacy safeguards and that conversations in this area will not be used to train its foundational models. Still in testing, the service has regional limits on which health apps can connect. OpenAI stresses that ChatGPT Health is not meant for diagnosis or treatment and warns that AI chatbots are not qualified to give medical advice, citing risks of inaccurate information and privacy concerns.

OpenAI announced a new feature called ChatGPT Health, creating a separate space for users to discuss health and wellness topics with the AI. The company says more than 230 million users ask health‑related questions each week, and the new product isolates those conversations from regular chats to protect context and privacy. ChatGPT Health can integrate data from popular wellness apps such as Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal, but OpenAI stresses that health chats will not be used to train its models. The rollout is expected in the coming weeks. Leer más →

OpenAI says that 40 million people ask health‑related questions of ChatGPT each day, representing more than five percent of all prompts. A survey of U.S. adults who have used AI for health in the past three months shows that over half use the tool to explore symptoms, while many also rely on it for medical terminology and treatment options. OpenAI describes the chatbot as a "healthcare ally" and cites a real‑world case where a user helped coordinate urgent care for a family member abroad. The company acknowledges the risks of relying on AI for medical advice and says it is partnering with hospitals and researchers to improve safety and accuracy. Leer más →

Apple is reportedly developing an artificial‑intelligence health chatbot that would be integrated into a new Health+ subscription service. The chatbot is intended to help users interpret and manage their health data, positioning Apple against competitors that already bundle AI assistants with fitness wearables. While the feature could enhance Apple’s health ecosystem, analysts warn it must deliver tangible value beyond existing tools or risk being seen as unnecessary bloat. Leer más →

Artificial intelligence tools are being positioned to reshape the healthcare system by shifting care from a reactive model to proactive prevention, early detection, and streamlined operations. AI‑driven image analysis, predictive algorithms, and chat‑based triage can catch diseases earlier, guide patients to the right pathways, and free clinicians to focus on complex cases. Experts emphasize the need for specialist AI agents, hybrid human‑AI workflows, and rigorous safety monitoring to ensure accurate, trustworthy outcomes while reducing overall costs. Leer más →

Apple introduced a refreshed lineup of wearables, adding the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch SE 3 and AirPods Pro 3. All devices feature 5G connectivity, new health‑focused sensors such as Hypertension detection and Sleep Score, and upgraded battery life. The Series 11 offers a custom ceramic coating, 24‑hour battery life and new watch faces. The Ultra 3 adds a wider OLED display, 42‑hour battery life and satellite connectivity. The SE 3 brings core Apple Watch functionality at a lower price, while the AirPods Pro 3 include heart‑rate sensing for workouts. Together, the launch signals Apple’s continued push into integrated fitness and wellness technology. Leer más →

Apple’s latest smartwatch, the Series 11, has received FDA approval for a new hypertension‑alert feature. The function uses the watch’s optical heart sensor combined with a machine‑learning algorithm trained on a study of more than 100,000 participants. It monitors users for a month‑long period to detect patterns that may indicate high blood pressure, then notifies them of a possible risk. Apple says the feature will roll out in 150 countries when the Series 11 and Ultra 3 launch on September 19. The approval follows earlier FDA clearances for Apple’s OTC hearing‑aid capability and sleep‑apnea detection, even as the company faces a lawsuit over its blood‑oxygen sensor redesign. Leer más →
