Perplexity Health
Launching today
Ask health questions across your records, labs, wearables
Perplexity Health connects your medical records, lab results, and wearable data so that AI can answer health questions using your actual history, not generic content written to rank.
For Perplexity Pro and Max users in the US.
I read in TechCrunch today that Perplexity is trying to dominate the Indian market, which could potentially increase the number of users (and thus compete with OpenAI).
Perplexity is trying to attract more users by offering a free 12-month Perplexity Pro subscription normally worth $200 to all 360 million Airtel subscribers. (That is the cost for them.)
Reviewers mostly see Perplexity as a fast, clean research tool that often replaces traditional search for everyday questions, deeper topic exploration, and current information. The most repeated praise is source-backed answers: users say citations make results easier to trust and verify, while summaries save them from opening many tabs. Some also like mobile, voice, sharing, and project organization. A few reviewers, and makers of tools like Mode AI, stress its live, cited research value for workflows and APIs. The main caveat is that hallucinations, weak citations, ads, and long-thread context issues still show up.

the wearables integration piece caught my attention - are you pulling from Apple Health, Fitbit, or going broader? we've seen so many health apps that only look at one data source when the real insights come from connecting everything together.

Perplexity has become my primary OS for information. I use it for hours every day, and it has almost entirely replaced other LLMs for me. It’s a true all-in-one powerhouse: from quick daily chores to deep technical research and multi-page project planning.
The UI is a masterclass in "clean focus" I love how it feels both on desktop and mobile. Features like sharing conversation links, seamless voice interaction, and the ability to switch between all top models in one place make it indispensable for my workflow. Even the image generation and file/photo analysis are surprisingly robust. It’s rare to find a tool that handles everything from shopping links to complex document summaries so gracefully.
What needs improvement
As a heavy user, I've noticed a few pain points. First, the recent change in how the tool handles full dialogue history seems to have slightly degraded the quality of responses in long threads. Second, when a conversation gets too long, I wish it would automatically summarize or carry the context over instead of just suggesting a new start. Lastly, I've seen some older Spaces stop working properly, which is a shame since they are great for organization. Fixing long-thread context management would make this tool perfect.
vs Alternatives
I chose Perplexity because I need an aggregator of intelligence, not just a chatbot. While ChatGPT and Claude are great, Perplexity gives me the best of all worlds in one interface. The transparency of citations is critical for my research, and the Deep Research mode performs better than any manual search I could do. I also love the direction the team is taking with products like the Comet browser (worthy tool!).

Been using this for quick research and it feels faster than traditional search.
What stands out: • Answers with sources • Clean minimal interface • Good for quick learning
Still testing deeper features but so far it’s really useful for everyday questions.

I usually compare tools like ChatGPT or traditional Google search when researching topics.
Perplexity stands out because it combines AI answers with source citations, which makes the information easier to verify. Instead of browsing multiple websites, it often summarizes everything in one response while still linking to the original sources.

What stands out: • Answers usually come with sources, which makes it easier to verify information • The interface is very clean and minimal • Responses are fast compared to most AI search tools
It’s been really useful for quick research, learning new topics, and getting summarized information without opening dozens of tabs.
Ambiguous multi-step instructions are still a weak spot — the system sometimes plows ahead when it should clarify. Privacy implications of an AI with full machine access need clearer documentation and user controls for sensitive workflows.
