Apple study: AI predicts a pregnancy with 92% accuracy using clock data

What if your Apple Watch or iPhone could draw your attention to pregnancy before a test? A new study financed by Apple suggests that this is now within reach.

The researchers used a mixture of behavioral and biometric data to train a model for artificial intelligence.

The result? The system has correctly predicted pregnancy in 92% of cases. It should not replace a laboratory test, but it could help women to recognize early signs before they even suspect anything.

Apple's AI study: A closer look at the data

Research comes from the Apple Heart and Movement Study, in which over 15 billion data points of more than 162,000 participants were collected. The data was canceled by the daily use of the Apple Watch and the iPhone. For pregnancy research, the model from 430 analyzed with pregnancies and more than 25,000 non -pregnant participants. The AI examined more as a heart rate and temperature. It also examined movement patterns, sleeping habits and training routines.

According to the study, behavioral changes provided strong clues. For example, a shift in walking or changing the bedtime routine could signal early pregnancy.

“Pregnancy leads to significant changes in the behavior of an individual, “said the researchers.

What else can ai recognize?

Pregnancy was just one of several health states that learned to identify the AI model. The researchers also tested the model for other health problems with strong results. It predicted diabetes with an accuracy of 82%, an infection with an accuracy of 76%and an accuracy of 69%. These findings suggest that AI-driven wearables soon count much more than just steps or pursue sleep. You could help recognize serious health changes before the symptoms occur.

The health -tech for women stands in front of a gap in trust

Even with these promising results, trust remains a great obstacle to women's health technology. The concerns about privacy grow, especially when it comes to sensitive data such as menstrual cycles or pregnancy. In 2023, the Federal Trade Commission punished the popular App Premom for the release of user data without consent.

A recently carried out FTC study confirmed the growing skepticism. Women trust fewer apps that collect information on reproductive health, especially if companies do not make their data practices clear. This raises an important question. Even if the Apple Watch can see early signs of pregnancy, do users want this?

Apple's continuous investment in women's health

Apple continues to build tools for reproductive and maternal health. In 2019 it added the health app menstrual cycle tracking. In 2023 it introduced a pregnancy tracking function for the Apple Watch. The company has not announced any plans to transform the AI results into a consumer function. However, this research shows where Apple's focus is headed. With the support of civil servants of the public healthcare system, Apple could play an important role in the design of the future of personalized health care.

This study shows that one day your Apple Watch can recognize significant changes in health before you notice. It is not a substitute for a doctor, but it could become a powerful early packaging tool. Nevertheless, trust and transparency become as important as the technology itself.
