Apple Health+ : The new subscription that will use AI to become your personal health coach in 2026
Apple is preparing to enter a brand new subscription realm: health. According to an exclusive report from Bloomberg, the Cupertino company is working on a service called Apple Health+, which could debut as early as 2026.
This service would complement Apple’s already rich ecosystem, which includes Apple Music, TV+, Fitness+, Arcade, News+, and of course iCloud+.
According to Bloomberg, Apple has recently reorganized several internal divisions, now placing the responsibility for health and wellness under Eddy Cue, the vice president in charge of services. This change is seen as a clear indication that the Apple Health+ project is advancing.
So far, Apple has not officially confirmed anything, but several sources close to the matter speak of a comprehensive health platform, integrated directly into the Health app on iPhone and Apple Watch.
Apple Health+: What to Expect?
Currently, the Apple Health app mainly serves as a data hub, collecting information from the Apple Watch or connected accessories (e.g., scales, water bottles, thermometers, etc.).
However, beyond data collection, the app remains somewhat passive: it centralizes data but does not truly utilize it intelligently.
With Health+, Apple intends to change that. Rumors suggest that the service will offer:
- A medical AI assistant based on Apple Intelligence capable of analyzing your health data and providing personalized recommendations;
- Advanced nutrition tracking tools, with automatic meal and calorie logging;
- Health education modules, in the form of videos and practical advice;
- Wellness programs incorporating meditation, sleep, and physical activity, complementing Apple Fitness+.
Separate Subscription or Included in Apple One?
The big question remains whether Apple will charge for this service separately. It’s possible that Apple Health+ could be included in the Apple One Premium subscription, which already bundles the brand’s flagship services, or offered as a separate paid option.
Some analysts suggest that Apple might position Apple Health+ as a premium offering, with a monthly fee similar to that of Fitness+ (around €10 to €15 per month).
Why This Launch Makes Sense for Apple?
Apple has been investing in digital health for several years, with features such as:
- Fall detection,
- ECG capabilities integrated into the Apple Watch,
- Sleep tracking,
- And monitoring heart rate and blood oxygen levels.
Apple Health+ would therefore be the next logical step: transforming the vast amount of data already collected into actionable and personalized recommendations.
Moreover, the imminent arrival of a Siri powered by Apple Intelligence could make interaction with Health+ seamless and intuitive: simply asking “How is my health this week?” could yield a comprehensive report.
Possible Announcement in Spring 2026
Bloomberg predicts that Apple could unveil Health+ in spring 2026, potentially alongside the new generation of Siri and other AI-related innovations.
The service would fit into Apple’s broader strategy of diversifying its revenue streams while bolstering its role in connected health.
The concept of Apple Health+ is appealing. The current Health app is an excellent tracking tool, but it can be frustrating for many users due to the lack of clear interpretation of data. With a genuinely intelligent and proactive approach, Apple could revolutionize public digital health — provided they find the right balance between price, privacy, and real utility.
