First off, this is Gurman guessing, not Apple announcing...
Hypertension as well as sleep apnea are basically LLM model based predictions and Apple has done a great job at that kind of "AI". And they have a whole lot more data from 10 years of heart studies and such from the AW.
Now, a "chatbot" like feature - I don't really see Apple getting into that, but that's just me

AI health chatbot? Oh, hail no! As if it's not bad enough I end up diagnosed with cancer every time I look up a symptom on WebMD.🤫 This is one area I will only trust a living, breathing health professional.
Trust Apple AI with health answers? I'd have better luck foraging mushrooms in the woods.

I welcome it.. currently it's painful to analyze the health data for trends. I have a nice GPT for my Oura data, use it daily
All I want is a better data exporter. I either have to export everything (and wait an hour) or use a third party app to select what I'd like to export.
Health+ powered by Gemini. lol Good lord. Plus Gurman said Apple is going to be careful to not mention google with their AI. Sorry Apple, but that's out in the open now. Plus how much risk do you want Apple? A healthcare plus chatbot for entertainment purposes only am i right? Dont' really rely on this..see a doctor. We're not liable..lol
Apple continues to get chastised for their substandard support of Generative AI, but it's important to realize that "Generative" AI is just one category of a vastly larger Machine Learning effort that Apple has embraced for 20 years, and they continue to make significant steps forward each year.
And people keep forgetting... millions of people using AI solutions from the likes of Google, Anthropic, Facebook, Amazon, etc. are using Apple hardware to do it. Why is it so important that Apple compete directly when they already sell the hardware people use to access a broad range of AI?
Apple users are not somehow held back from embracing the world's AI. If anything, Apple enables that access.
It's amazing how so many people are not able to distinguish between the two.
Given Apple’s track record with AI implementations, I’m seriously concerned about this, especially on such a critical topic.
And make it work well with Fitness+. That would mean Apple actually mentioning this service exists outside of their Keynotes
Aren't hypertension and sleep apnea detection both algorithm-based, not LLM/ML? I turned off AI last week and both of these features are still working for me.
I wish not just Apple, but everyone would stop doubling down on this chatbot nonsense.
I wonder what approach Apple will manage. They will be pushing hard for quality but there is risk of 9 of 10 doctors/experts agree with their sponsor attitude. Best approach is usually more nature and less tech and if you wanna know truth you have to listen to those who are forbidden to talk...
They are putting reputation on table.
Is this the same stuff that was announced in May of 2024?
No. Back then Apple wasn't designing and manufacturing AI servers in their Houston, Texas manufacturing facility (for deployment across the US) like they are now.
