TELUS International AI Data Solutions’ Post

Today's WeeklyLT provides promise that a proactive healthy lifestyle for us & our children by having a 24-7 personal AI Doctor in our pockets could be around the corner. Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI which is behind Chat-GPT) & Arianna Huffington (CEO of Thrive Health & founder of Huffington Post) announced last week their respective VC firms are jointly wanting to fund a new AI health coach. This coach would provide 24/7 real-time expert-level advice from the latest peer-reviewed scientific articles. https://lnkd.in/gMf--ZA5 The video explains that about 90% OF THE $4.1 TRILLION SPENT ON HEALTHCARE IN THE US GOES TOWARDS TREATING CHRONIC & MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. AT LEAST 129M AMERICANS HAVE AT LEAST ONE CHRONIC CONDITION.” Sure, we have coaching & information available today via the internet, scientific journals, public libraries, WeeklyLTs, smartwatches, Fitbits & similar devices. But these are not in the form-factor that humans typically require which is “cheap, instantaneous, user-friendly & trustworthy.” If this personalized AI health coach can offer two-way conversation using generative AI, it could revolutionize the health-tech industry. Of course, it would need to have access to our data to provide personalized health tips. This will be the risk-reward dilemma & debate, but generally, humans eventually adopt technology when the benefits outweigh the costs. . The AI-powered health coach will focus on the five key behaviors that often determine health outcomes: 1. Sleep 2. Food 3. Movement 4. Stress Management 5. Social Connections Examples: Your AI health coach detects that you have high blood pressure, perhaps after someone cut you off on the road. It may suggest parking your car & doing a two-minute breathing exercise or meditation. The AI-coach instantly shows you the benefits this had in lowering your blood pressure from X to Y. Or it senses a spike in blood sugar after eating a chocolate banana brownie & suggests a 15-minute walk. It then shows you a much lower reading after your walk, proving the positive impact on your health. WE ARE ENTERING A WORLD THAT WILL PROVIDE US 24/7 PERSONALIZED HEALTH & MEDICAL ADVICE, WHICH COULD DRASTICALLY REDUCE SOCIETAL HEALTHCARE COSTS & CHALLENGES IN FRONT OF US TODAY. THANK YOU, TECHNOLOGY. BUT AS I ALWAYS SAY, WE CAN STILL ACHIEVE THE ABOVE DESPITE THE TECHNOLOGY IF WE ARE WILLING TO PUT IN THE WORK.

OpenAI and Thrive Capital are creating an AI health coaching company. Sam Altman and Arianna Huffington have written a post in Time. They’re teaming up to build an AI health coach. It’ll try to change user behaviour to help with chronic diseases and daily wellness. #healthtech #AI

Do you ever wonder what AI generated support will mean to health and human services? I do. Here's a few of my take away thoughts and please share yours. Some positives for sure: 1. We need the help. Lets face it there's not enough of us to go around and at times having it to help respond to easier questions would be nice. 2. There are many out there nowadays that would prefer the non human interactions. It's who they are or how they have become accustomed to getting information needs met. 3. Ease of availability. No waiting for appointments or cueing for someone to answer your call. On the other side taking into account that the wealth of knowledge it has to share is beyond ours and it can mimic human conversations and interactions: 1. Would you ever trust a program to want to know who your are and trust your wellbeing to? 2. Would you always have a lingering doubt it really doesn't do or understand #1, I would. I am for a balanced future. A person always needs to be an active option or included in the process is my opinion. What are your thoughts? #AIdrivenhealthcare #wearenotassimpleastheythik #peoplematter

Altman, Huffington launching #AI health coach #OpenAI CEO #SamAltman and Arianna Huffington announced a new startup venture to create an artificial intelligence-driven health coach as an attempt to use “hyper-personalization” to better behavioral health. Thrive AI Health, a cooperation between OpenAI and Huffington’s Thrive Global, will create an app to focus on habit-forming and behavior change, the pair announced in a Time magazine editorial on Monday. “Yes, behavior change is hard. But through hyper-personalization, it’s also something that AI is uniquely positioned to solve,” the two wrote. “Every aspect of our #health is deeply influenced by the five foundational daily behaviors of sleep, food, movement, stress management, and #social connection,” they continued. “And AI, by using the power of hyper-personalization, can significantly improve these behaviors.” Altman and #Huffington said the startup’s eventual product will be trained on a person’s biometric data and personal preferences to give recommendations around sleep and food, among other health priorities. Personalized notes from the health coach could be a reminder to go to bed early in order to get enough sleep for an early flight, the pair said, using AI to bring together health and calendar data, for example. “AI-driven diagnostics have already reduced error rates and improved patient outcomes,” they argued. “Now, by focusing AI on healthy behavior promotion and taking advantage of its ability to process potentially several billion data points, we put in our hands a powerful tool for positive change, ensuring technology works for our well-being rather than against it.”
