The new Asus VivoWatch 6 Plus<\/a>, announced at Computex 2026<\/a>, is more than just a smartwatch that sends you notifications or tracks your workouts. It\u2019s part of the Asus \u201cAI-powered health care ecosystem.\u201d The new Asus AI Agent for healthcare takes patient data from the new smartwatch and the Asus Handheld Ultrasound DuoScan and sends it over to healthcare providers to turn \u201cpatient data into instant clinical decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Asus has not detailed what information is sent to healthcare providers, when that information is sent, or what actions the AI Agent will take based on that information.<\/p>\n

Asus is far from the only tech company pulling clinicians in the mix when it comes to smart wearables. Samsung is working on fainting detection<\/a> and glucose monitoring, and the Apple Watch features an ECG monitor, while Whoop is providing users access to \u201clicensed clinicians<\/a>\u201d on demand alongside its subscription service.<\/p>\n

Unlike other manufacturers, however, Asus\u2019s AI system is designed to act based on clinical data, which doesn\u2019t sound particularly comforting. Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Watches focus on monitoring and predictive models, while Whoop\u2019s service offers healthcare access, which still leaves your medical decisions in the hands of yourself and your doctor. The Asus AI Agent for healthcare analyzes patient data to \u201cexecute actions in real-time,\u201d which sounds like it will be making healthcare decisions for you. While an AI can be useful for parsing trends through long-term health monitoring, it\u2019s hard to say what data or actions the Asus AI Agent will take considering the slim details provided in the press release.<\/p>\n

Putting aside the AI Agent, the VivoWatch 6 Plus looks like a solid alternative to a Galaxy Watch or Apple Watch. It features a titanium alloy case and a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with sapphire crystal glass. The VivoWatch 6 Plus offers continuous health monitoring via blood pressure and ECG, alongside sleep, breathing, movement and gait analysis to provide deeper insights into chronic illnesses and long-term health trends.<\/p>\n

Asus has not confirmed pricing on the VivoWatch 6 Plus, but considering the VivoWatch 6 ($299), we can expect it to be somewhat more expensive than the base VivoWatch 6, which puts it in direct competition with the Galaxy Watch 8<\/a> and Apple Watch Series 11<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As to whether the healthcare AI Agent will be any good? That\u2019s TBD until somebody reviews the VivoWatch 6 Plus.<\/p>\n
