Though the patent remains vague and purposefully broad, Apple could be looking to develop some kind of machine learning AI system to go along with this tech. The patent reads that users’ “demographic information” can come from a “dedicated body composition analysis questionnaire” or “as part of some other health-related application.” There have been rumblings about a fitness-dedicated Apple Watch, and the company already sells a Fitness+ subscription for video and audio workouts that incorporates metrics from an Apple Watch. If the company wants to dig even deeper into the lucrative world of health and fitness tech, then getting an idea of a users’ full body composition would be a good start. Last month, reports showed the Cupertino tech giant was getting close to finding a noninvasive glucose test for diabetics through an Apple Watch. Of course, there’s a few reasons not to get excited for every single Apple patent that comes out, but this latest is interesting because much of the technology it would use is already there. Apple’s patent described how its scanning technology could identify places in the body where most fat congregates.
