Apple to launch Paid ‘Santé+’ Service in 2026,Expanding Health ecosystem
Cupertino,CA – Apple is poised to launch a new subscription service,”Santé+,” in 2026,signaling a major expansion of its health and fitness offerings for iPhone users. The service, currently rumored, will build upon the existing Health app and leverage artificial intelligence to provide users with advanced tools for health management and wellness.
For years, Apple’s Health app has aggregated data from connected devices like the Apple Watch and various fitness applications, offering a centralized view of users’ physical activity. However, a recent reorganization within Apple-moving its health and fitness division under Eddy Cue, head of services-strongly suggests a shift towards a more extensive, paid offering. Santé+ aims to deliver an “armada of tools” including an AI-powered assistant capable of providing personalized health insights, calorie tracking, and educational health-related videos.
According to a report by AppleInsider on October 9, 2025, the move to place the Health application under Cue’s leadership indicates Apple’s intention to establish Santé+ as a standalone service, capitalizing on its growing health data ecosystem. The service is expected to offer in-depth data analysis powered by artificial intelligence, helping users identify areas for advancement in their daily routines.
The launch timeline remains fluid, with potential unveilings anticipated either alongside the release of Siri’s AI-enhanced update in spring 2026 or at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) next June.
