Introducing Perplexity Health

Every day, millions of people come to Perplexity with questions about their health. They ask what a lab result means or whether a symptom is serious. Some have questions about their medications, some want to learn deeply about a diagnosis. 

Perplexity is the best place to search for this kind of knowledge because of our focus on accuracy, credible sources, and verifiable citations.

Today we are launching Perplexity Health, a suite of connectors to your personal health data that allows for powerful personal uses of Perplexity Computer, providing accurate health information for the most important questions. 

All health is personal

Health information is only useful if it accounts for the person asking. Right now, personal health data is scattered across portals, apps, and devices. Lab results are in one place, prescriptions in another, fitness data in a third. Perplexity Health answers questions from all of it in a single place.  

We are launching with connectors for Apple Health, electronic health records from over 1.7 million care providers, and platforms including Fitbit, Ultrahuman, Withings, and many more. These are powered by partners like b.well and Terra API alongside direct integrations. ŌURA and Function are expected soon.

Perplexity Health tracks metrics and trends over time across biomarkers and activity data through a personalized dashboard. Ask a health question and the answer draws from your medical records, lab results, and wearable data at once. A question about resting heart rate, for example, can factor in your recent activity, your cardiac history, and your latest bloodwork.

Perplexity Health on Computer

Perplexity Computer is a powerful orchestrator of AI agents that can research, code, create and work autonomously in concert. Starting today, personal health connectors and premium sources combine to allow endless new ways to interact with personal health data and achieve personal health goals or learning.

With Perplexity Health on Computer, you can build a custom marathon training protocol based on fitness data, generate a visit-prep summary ahead of a doctor's appointment, create personalized nutrition plans, or find the right medical care. 

Sources a physician would trust

Answers in Perplexity Health draw from premium medical literature, including clinical guidelines and peer-reviewed journals. Each response includes citations linked directly to the source material so you can read what the answer is based on.

Right now, most health answers online are grounded in SEO-optimized content written to rank. Perplexity Health answers include real guardrails, including clear guidance on when to seek care.

Encrypted data protection

Health data on Perplexity is protected with encryption in transit and at rest, with strict access controls, and tools to manage or delete information at any time. Health data sources such as electronic health records or wearables can be disconnected, and information is never used to train AI models or sold to third parties. Read more in our privacy policy. 

Perplexity Health will continue to evolve, and we want that evolution guided by clinicians. Today we are also announcing the Perplexity Health Advisory Board: a group of physicians, researchers, and health technology leaders who will pressure-test our future product decisions, content quality, and clinical safeguards against the standards of evidence-based medicine. 

Perplexity Health on Computer will first roll out to Pro/Max users in the US over the coming weeks, with more cohorts and geographies coming soon.
