Claude AI iPhone App Can Now Connect to Apple Health in the US

Anthropic's Claude AI chatbot is gaining Apple Health integration, allowing the assistant to access users' health and fitness data directly from their iPhone.

The feature is rolling out in beta this week via the Claude iOS app, Anthropic announced as part of a broader healthcare push. U.S. subscribers on Claude Pro and Max plans can opt in to share their data, including movement, sleep, and activity patterns.

Once connected, Claude can summarize medical history, explain test results, detect patterns across fitness metrics, and help users prepare questions for doctor appointments. HealthEx and Function connectors are also available in beta.

Anthropic says the integrations are "private by design." Users choose exactly what they share, must explicitly opt in, and can revoke access at any time. Health data isn't used to train models, according to the company.

The announcement comes two weeks after OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health with its own Apple Health connector. Both companies stress their tools aren't intended for diagnosis and aren't a substitute for professional medical advice.

Let's all put our private medical data onto the internet for beta testing an AI model.

This sounds like an excellent idea. I'm sure absolutely nothing will ever go wrong and no one will ever regret doing it.

After considerable amount of time of deep-thinking and introspection (2 seconds), I have decided to opt-out of this nonsense.

Wow! That's what I want: AI training on my health data and making hallucinogenic recommendations.

I'm curious how many rubes will actually do this.
There's a few on here for sure...

Oh yeah, hypercondriacs will love this feature. 😂

Again, at 70 years of age, I am the Luddite in the corner; Past the lock-screen info where a user can state something like diabetes or a medication allergy to EMT's, I simply do not understand the need to share my medical or health information on any device, have it summarized.
