If you zoom out into the future and you look back and you ask the

question, what was Apple's greatest contribution to mankind, it

Apple's biggest contribution to the world is they invented the

touchscreen smartphone, which is completely upended everything in the

I believe we're at the very beginning of the indispensable role of

health tech. I think it enables a whole new network of companies, a slew

of startup companies, to be able to capitalize on this data and help

improve outcomes. So if there's any technology company today that's well

positioned to pull this off and build the trust of health care

It's an area that has not been incredibly digitized in the past 20 or 30

And there are some very good reasons for the company's move into health

care. Health care accounts for about 18 percent of U.S.

That is one of the last remaining markets that Apple could actually

grow. The App Store created about five hundred billion dollars, so half

a trillion dollars worth of economic activity.

Absolutely huge. And I think that Apple could create a market that is

But while investors are applauding Apple's health focus, physicians are a

bit more hesitant. You know, young people who are monitoring themselves

with these devices, driving themselves crazy, watching their heart rate,

getting these alerts, thinking there's something wrong with them, they

come into my office all the time and ninety nine point ninety nine

percent of the time what I offer them is just reassurance.

We wanted to explore why and how Apple is growing its health care

business, as well as the challenges the company faces.

Steve Jobs, a rebel, an icon, dead at 56...

Tim Cook has talked about in the past, you know, the Apple founder, Steve

Jobs, go through cancer and health care system and realizing that they

I think Steve Jobs imprint was all over the company, and the culture is

But I think Tim has always been very thoughtful about health.

And so I kind of think he views this almost in some ways as his legacy.

The Apple Watch is seen as one of Apple's most important introductions

into the health sector, but that wasn't its exclusive goal initially.

It was supposed to be notifications on your wrist.

There was a gold one. And over time, the watch has become much more of

the health and fitness device, and they've sort of ditched some of these

other things because they realized that that was actually the most

But the Apple Watch isn't the company's only health initiative.

Our business has always been about enriching people's lives.

And as we've gotten into health care more and more through the watch and

through other things that we've created with ResearchKit and CareKit and

putting your medical records on the iPhone, this is a huge deal and it's

something that is very important for people.

When you look at Apple's spends billions of dollars every year in R&D.

Right now, I wouldn't say the health care department or health care team

at Apple is the biggest, but they can place a pretty big bet on it.

And you can tell they're taking it seriously because the CEO of Apple,

We are going to keep pushing watch forward.

Apple has three areas of focus when it comes to health: hardware like the

Apple Watch, software like the Health App and ResearchKit, and services

like Fitness+, Apple's newest subscription service.

Some people might provide the software, some people might provide the

hardware, which is largely generic or medical device maker, but Apple

can combine them all and kind of have a better user interface, which I

All of these devices and services revolve around the iPhone ecosystem,

and while iPhone sales are still the majority of Apple's revenue,

wearables and services are picking up steam.

iPhone sales have increased an average of about four percent quarter

over quarter and about two percent year over year.

Since 2017, services have increased an average of about 4.5 percent

quarter over quarter and about 22 percent year over year since 2017.

And wearable sales have grown the most by far, increasing at an average

of almost nine percent quarter over quarter and nearly 35 percent year

The revenue for wearables is already more than 50 percent more than iPod

was at its peak. The danger to Apple is that next year a Samsung or a

Huawai or Oppo comes out with something that really captures the

consumer's imagination and they stop buying iPhones.

That's a danger and really investing in this health lessons that because

if these features, you know, really catch on and people need them, then

they stick with Apple. Let's discuss hardware first.

The Apple Watch is a standout among the companies health initiatives.

Not only does the most recent watch offer ECG recording and heart rate

monitoring, it also includes blood oxygen monitoring, which is very

medically-minded and not a huge selling point for the average consumer.

Apple does not report revenue made from the Apple Watch alone, but

wearables, a category that includes Apple Watch, along with products

like iPods, contributed about six point five dollars billion in revenue

The estimates of watches that have been sold are, you know, 60 million

over the years, 70 million over the years, and if the average selling

price is around 300, 400 dollars, that's a lot of money.

That's substantial. That's, you know, that could be its own company.

The tagline is, The future of health is on your wrist.
