The service, which is codenamed "Quartz," would be used as a motivational tool for exercise, healthy eating, and sleep quality. AI would be used to make suggestions and design custom health plans based on biometric and behavioral data from Apple Watch. The service, which reportedly involves health, Siri, and AI teams at Apple, would be a standalone app with a subscription-based payment model.
