Anthropic’s Claude AI assistant now supports interactive workplace apps and direct health‑data connections, letting users trigger tools like Slack, Canva, and Figma while securely reading personal metrics from Apple Health, Android Health Connect, and other platforms. The upgrades are available to paid tiers and emphasize user‑controlled permissions and privacy. Enterprise teams can streamline collaboration, and consumers gain a unified wellness dashboard.
Interactive Workplace Apps for Enterprise Productivity
Claude’s new app framework lets the assistant call native functions of popular productivity services without leaving the chat window. By linking a logged‑in account, users can automate routine tasks, retrieve files, and generate content directly through conversational prompts.
Supported Tools and Integration Details
- Slack – send messages or retrieve channel history.
- Canva – create design assets from text prompts.
- Figma – edit design files and export prototypes.
- Box – locate and share documents stored in the cloud.
- Additional services – future integrations include Salesforce and other enterprise platforms.
Availability and Tier Requirements
The interactive apps feature is limited to paid subscriptions—Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise. Users enable specific tools through the Claude directory at claude.ai/directory. Free accounts do not have access to app integrations.
Health‑Data Connectors for Personal Wellness
Claude now offers read‑only connections to major health ecosystems, allowing users to ask the assistant to summarize activity trends, highlight sleep patterns, or prepare health‑related questions. The feature is in beta for U.S. users on paid plans and focuses on secure, user‑approved data access.
Health Platforms Integrated with Claude
- Apple Health (iOS) – access movement, sleep, and activity data.
- Android Health Connect – retrieve health metrics from Android devices.
- HealthEx – ingest biometric readings and medication logs.
- Function – connect to additional third‑party health services.
Privacy‑by‑Design and Data Control
All health‑data connectors operate on a private‑by‑design model. Users select which data categories Claude may read, and the assistant does not use health information to train its underlying language models. Enterprise‑focused health tools also let Claude query public medical databases, ICD‑10 codes, and provider registries for quick reference.
Strategic Impact for Users and Enterprises
For businesses, the ability to trigger Slack messages, generate Canva designs, or fetch Box documents from a single chat reduces context switching and accelerates workflow automation. On the consumer side, Claude serves as a consolidated wellness dashboard, helping individuals interpret fragmented fitness data and prepare for medical appointments while maintaining strict privacy safeguards.
Future Outlook for Claude Integrations
Anthropic plans to extend the interactive app framework to its Claude Cowork agent, enabling end‑to‑end task execution across multiple tools without manual hand‑offs. Continued expansion of health‑data connectors is expected to set new standards for AI‑driven personal wellness assistants, prompting broader industry discussions on data consent, security, and the role of AI in healthcare.
