Apple Launches Comprehensive Health Study Using iPhone, Watch, and AirPods

The new longitudinal study aims to explore how technology can predict, detect, and manage health across a wide range of areas, in collaboration with Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

The Apple Health Study is a multi-year research initiative examining physical and mental health using data from iPhones, Apple Watches, AirPods, and third-party devices.
Conducted in partnership with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the study will analyze connections across health areas such as sleep, cardiovascular health, mental health, and respiratory health.
Participants in the U.S. can enroll through Apple’s Research app, with options to control data sharing and withdraw at any time, ensuring privacy and consent.
The study builds on insights from previous Apple health studies, which informed features like hearing aids in AirPods Pro 2 and Walking Steadiness on iPhones.
Researchers aim to uncover early warning signals of health changes, potentially leading to future health-focused innovations in Apple products.
