Apple Working on AI ‘Doctor’

Apple is reportedly working on a project called “Project Mulberry” to create an AI doctor that could provide medical advice through the iPhone’s Health app. The AI agent is being trained by real doctors to offer guidance similar to what a real doctor would provide. The system will use AI to analyze health data gathered from Apple products, including the Apple Watch, and may include features like food tracking. Apple CEO Tim Cook has expressed a commitment to improving user health through various tools and updates, with a potential paid subscription service called Health+ on the horizon.
