Perplexity Health taps personal medical data

This is a high-trust swing for Perplexity: useful if it turns scattered health data into cited, explainable context, risky if users treat a consumer AI dashboard like clinical advice.

• –Medical records are powered through b.well, while wearables and wellness apps connect through Terra API, giving Perplexity a broad personal data layer.
• –The product can track biomarker trends, activity, sleep, workouts, and health memories, making it more like a longitudinal health interface than a one-off chatbot.
• –Perplexity says it will not diagnose, recommend treatments, handle emergencies, train on health data, or sell that data, but its own docs note HIPAA does not apply to consumer health products like this.
• –The competitive context is heating up fast, with OpenAI, Microsoft, Amazon, and Perplexity all pushing AI into consumer healthcare workflows.
