New AI model uses behavior data from Apple Watch for better health predictions

Behavioral information from an Apple Watch, such as physical activity, cardiovascular fitness, and mobility metrics, may be more useful for determining a person's health state than just raw sensor data, according to a new scientific study.A new scientific study uses behavior information derived from Apple Watch sensor data for health predicitons.Over the years, Apple has collaborated with medical researchers on a variety of issues, ranging from menstrual cycles and even pickleball, to hearing loss and sleep tracking. The iPhone maker has also examined the training and cardio exercises that marathon runners do, as part of a multi-year Heart and Movement Study that used the Apple Watch.The Heart and Movement Study is part of a broader initiative to promote healthy movement and enhance cardiovascular health. Now, another Apple-sponsored research paper, which relies on data from the Heart and Movement Study, explains how behavior data can often serve as a more significant health indicator relative to conventional biometric data obtained through hardware sensors.
