Apple 🍎 is planning to integrate Al-powered heart rate monitoring into AirPods 🎧 Apple's newest research suggests that AirPods could soon double as Al-powered heart monitors. In a study published on May 29, 2025, Apple's team tested six advanced Al models-originally designed for audio and speech recognition-on phonocardiograms, which are audio recordings of heartbeats. The Al models beat out traditional heart rate measurement techniques, with the best model averaging just a 2.73 beats-per-minute error. This shows that AirPods' built-in microphones, combined with Al, could one day detect heart sounds and estimate heart rates without any invasive tools. While the technology is still in its early stages, these findings highlight Apple's growing focus on health tech-and hint at a future where millions of AirPods users could access powerful heart monitoring features.
