Perplexity Integrates Apple Health and Function Lab Data for Personalized Insights

Perplexity has integrated personal health data from Apple Health and Function into its answer engine and Perplexity Computer agent. Users can now sync sleep, activity, and heart rate variability (HRV) metrics, while the Function connector adds blood panel results. This grounding in specific medical history allows the AI to analyze personal biological trends rather than just general web knowledge.

Still wondering? A few quick answers below.

Perplexity can now connect to Apple Health on iPhone to retrieve sleep, activity, and heart rate variability (HRV) data. Additionally, it integrates with Function Health to access lab results, including biomarkers, blood draws, and full panel results, allowing the AI to analyze personal health trends over time.

By connecting a Function account, users can ask Perplexity Health about specific biomarkers and blood panel results. The AI analyzes these lab results to generate trend dashboards and can correlate this clinical data with lifestyle metrics from other connected apps to identify how habits impact overall health.

Yes, once the data is connected via the iPhone app, users can use the Perplexity Computer agent on the Mac app to query and analyze their health metrics. This cross-device orchestration allows the AI to use personal health data to answer complex questions across different operating environments.
