Do you trust an artificial intelligence doctor?

According to Bloomberg, Apple is secretly working on a “artificial intelligence physician service” while challenging the General AI competition. This seems to be an attempt by the company to restore its presence in medical technology.

This secret project, known as the Moberi Project and the nickname Health+, aims to upgrade Apple’s relatively simple Health app and integrate a “health coach”. Bloomberg described the service as a “artificial intelligence agent” that “will act partly like a real physician.”

The remarkable thing is the use of the term “artificial intelligence factor”, which indicates a higher level of autonomy than a conventional “artificial intelligence assistant”.

How will this system operate?

According to the design, the Health app collects a range of user health criteria, including heart rate, using Apple devices such as the iPhone or Apple Watch. Then, the artificial intelligence physician offers recommendations for improved health based on this data.

One of the big changes is the strong focus of this app on feed tracking; A feature that is not available in the current version. This artificial intelligence doctor is going to help users manage nutrition -related features, although the exact details are still unclear.

Ambassador, Apple is also working on using an iPhone camera so that this artificial intelligence agent can analyze user exercise and provide tips for modifying the movement form.

Potential challenges and concerns

However, there is a doubt about how these capabilities will act in practice. The poor performance of the Apple Intelligence in the past has brought a lot of criticism.

The main concern is the tendency of this technology to produce incorrect information. Apple was previously criticized for its repeated artificial intelligence errors in summing up the news and was forced to suspend the capability. These risks will be much more serious about a “artificial intelligence physician”.

To alleviate these concerns, Apple is forming a specialized medical team, including experts in sleep, nutrition, physiotherapy, mental health and cardiac to produce educational videos. For example, if user data indicates an inappropriate heart rate, artificial intelligence will display an educational video made by these specialists on the dangers of heart disease. Also, Apple is looking for a “famous medical face” to introduce the service.

Project Priority Time and Priority

Currently, this project is the top priority of Apple’s health sector and is led by Dr. Symbol Dessai, Apple’s Vice President of Health and Stanford University. According to reports, the service will probably be available with iOS 4.3; The update expected to be released in spring or summer next year.
