Perplexity debuts ‘Health’ AI assistant with Fitbit and Apple Health integration

📊 Industry Moves

Oura Ring 4 just integrated with Alloy Health’s telehealth platform, piping sleep, temperature, and cycle data straight to menopause physicians’ dashboards. Wearables quietly moving into the clinic is what should actually worry Apple Watch and Garmin, not another spec bump.

Marty’s Take:

Alloy Health only fixes menopause data flow, but the real story is who’s still missing. Apple Watch has no clinical-data pipeline for any condition; Garmin Fenix 8 Pro has none either. Oura just made “does your data reach a doctor” a buying criterion, not a nice-to-have. Check the best fitness tracker rankings before assuming your current wearable qualifies.
