More and more people are prioritizing their health and making lifestyle changes to reach their health goals. But with work, child-rearing, school, and errands, it’s easy to let healthy living fall to the sidelines.
OpenAI and Thrive Global, Arianna Huffington’s wellness company, are working together to create a new AI health coaching company, Thrive AI Health. This hyper-personalized AI health coach will help users make healthier choices, like getting in exercise and enough shut-eye, by integrating suggestions into their daily lives. Users will be able to access the coach through an app and Thrive Global’s software.
Many existing AI health coaches in the market offer general advice or make suggestions that require users to go out of their way to complete them. Thrive AI Health’s coach will learn the user’s day-to-day patterns and preferences to make real-time suggestions the user can try without breaking their routine.
OpenAI and Huffington’s joint venture is one project amidst many ongoing advancements in the market. Smart watches such as FitBits and Apple Watches are gathering more personalized data to keep wearers active. With such technology, it may be more difficult for even the busiest of people to make the excuse of not having enough time to exercise or eat healthy.
