Researchers Train Health-LLM On Apple Watch Data

MIT researchers and startup Empirical Health train Health-LLM on 3 million person-days of Apple Watch data to predict medical conditions, the paper reports. The multimodal model uses heart-rate, accelerometer, sleep, activity, and voice signals and achieves AUC 0.88 for hypertension; the paper suggests the approach enables proactive wearable-based screening and personalized preventive recommendations.
