Data pulled from the Vision Pro's onboard sensors and cameras could, theoretically, be used to identify mood disorders like anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
As Apple continues to struggle with what exactly to do with its overpriced Vision Pro, discussions behind the scenes reportedly included using the mixed-reality headset to diagnose—and potentially treat—mental health. Healthcare providers could glean a patient’s mental health via data taken by the headset’s onboard cameras and sensors, according to a report from The Information Wednesday.
This is not the first time rumors swirled around Apple’s interest in pursuing mental health tracking. In 2021, Apple was reportedly working on mental health tracking software for the iPhone in two, separate collaborations with UCLA and pharmaceutical company Biogen, respectively.
