Introduce Perplexity Health

## What changed Perplexity launched Perplexity Health on May 18, 2026. The new vertical focuses on medical queries and returns answers drawn from verified sources. A Health Advisory Board now reviews content for accuracy before it reaches users.

The feature sits inside the existing Perplexity interface. No separate app or login is required. Early tests show responses include source links and board member notes on complex topics.

## Why it matters Solo builders who embed search into Notion pages or Zapier workflows now have a narrower but more reliable medical channel. This reduces the risk of pulling unverified claims into client dashboards or internal knowledge bases.

The move signals Perplexity is carving out regulated verticals rather than competing only on general search speed. It pressures general models that still hallucinate on health topics and gives teams a concrete alternative when accuracy matters more than breadth.

## How to use it Open perplexity.ai and start a new thread. Prefix queries with health context or select the Health tab once it appears in the model switcher. Free accounts receive standard results. Pro and Enterprise plans add deeper source citations and board annotations.

Export answers directly to Notion via the existing Zapier integration or copy the structured output into a database. Test one workflow this week by routing a single medical research query through the new vertical and logging the citation quality.

## Watch for Track whether the Advisory Board expands to include specialists in mental health and rare diseases. Watch for any drop in answer speed once review layers increase. The next logical step is an API endpoint that lets builders call Health results programmatically inside custom agents.
