An Apple spokesperson has now responded, saying: "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans."
Founded in 2013 by Anil Sethi and Karthik Hariharan, Gliimpse provides a secure platform where consumers can manage and share their medical records and info.
According to Sethi's LinkedIn page, Gliimpse -- like many startups -- was born of a personal need.
In recent months, Apple has acquired HealthKit, CareKit and ResearchKit startups that allow patients, doctors and researchers to access important health and wellness data via a range of mobile devices.
Apple has also released its HealthKit app which helps users monitor personal health and fitness data on iPhone 6.
The Cupertino-based company has recently been making a push into artificial intelligence through Siri personal assistant and related technologies.
