Apple is planning to significantly overhaul its health app this year Health or if you prefer Health, and add four major innovations to it. A new redesign, food tracking, expert videos, and an AI assistant aim to take the user experience several levels higher. Tim Cook repeatedly claims that the greatest legacy Apple for the company will be in the field of health – and these innovations are intended to fulfill his vision.
