So thrilled about today’s launch of Thrive AI Health — funded by the OpenAI Startup Fund and Thrive Global. As Arianna Huffington and Sam Altman wrote in TIME, “AI could go well beyond efficiency and optimization to something much more fundamental: improving both our health spans and lifespans.” So excited to see the innovation that DeCarlos Love and team will bring to the world through Thrive AI health, and equally looking forward to introducing Thrive AI Health’s products to Thrive Global’s enterprise customers.

Today Sam Altman and I published a piece in TIME sharing our vision for how AI-driven personalized behavior change can transform healthcare and announcing the launch of Thrive AI Health, a new company funded by the OpenAI Startup Fund and Thrive Global, which will be devoted to building an AI health coach. The company’s mission is to use AI to democratize access to expert-level health coaching to improve health outcomes and address growing health inequities. As Sam and I write, AI could go well beyond efficiency and optimization to something much more fundamental: improving both our health spans and lifespans. With AI-driven personalized behavior change, we have the chance to finally reverse the trend lines on chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, which are directly related to daily behaviors but not distributed equally across demographics. DeCarlos Love — a brilliant product leader passionate about improving health outcomes — has left Google to become Thrive AI Health’s CEO, and I’m very much looking forward to working with him. And The Alice L. Walton Foundation is joining us as a strategic investor to help us scale our impact to underserved communities and reduce health inequities. AI has become central to Thrive Global’s mission to improve health and productivity outcomes, and I’m incredibly passionate about the opportunity to leverage AI to deliver hyper-personalized behavior change across the five key behaviors that Thrive focuses on and that govern our health: sleep, food, movement, stress management and connection. The AI health coach will be embedded in Thrive’s behavior change platform and we look forward to bringing this innovative offering to the market. Read more in TIME: https://lnkd.in/dTzyGZ4S

Groundbreaking news from Arianna Huffington and Thrive Global! The potential for #AI to improve health outcomes and reduce #inequities is immense and exciting. #Behavior change is a powerful tool for preventing and optimizing the treatment of chronic diseases, and AI’s ability to facilitate this through hyper-personalization is promising. However, there are concerns about the implementation, #ethical considerations and ensuring that the #technology truly serves all communities effectively. The article recognizes that “humans are more than their medical profile,” and I welcome the use of AI to help create highly personalized #microsteps for #healthierhabits. But questions arise, such as will healthcare be more accessible and democratized? Will privacy be protected, especially with the use of personal biometric, lab, and medical data? These questions are vital as we navigate this innovative path forward. There is a risk that access to advanced AI health #coaching could still be limited by economic disparities, potentially leaving out those who need it most. Another risk is that relying heavily on AI for health management could lead to over-dependence on technology, potentially reducing the emphasis on #humaninteractions and #personalizedcare from #healthcare professionals. Ensuring that AI-driven solutions are developed with a strong focus on #governance, #sustainability and #humancentric guidance is crucial. What are your views?

The launch of Thrive AI Health is an exciting step towards transforming healthcare with AI-driven personalized behavior change. The potential to democratize access to expert health coaching could significantly improve health outcomes, especially for chronic diseases that disproportionately affect certain demographics. DeCarlos Love's leadership and the support of the Alice L. Walton Foundation highlight the commitment to addressing health inequities. However, it's crucial to consider how AI will handle the vast diversity in human behavior and needs. How will the AI adapt to cultural, socioeconomic, and individual differences to provide truly personalized and effective health coaching? #AIInHealthcare #PersonalizedMedicine #HealthEquity

From the article "Using AI in this way would also scale and democratize the life-saving benefits of improving daily habits and address growing health inequities. Those with more resources are already in on the power of behavior change, with access to trainers, chefs, and life coaches. But since chronic diseases—like diabetes and cardiovascular disease—are distributed unequally across demographics, a hyper-personalized AI health coach would help make healthy behavior changes easier and more accessible." #aiforgood

But humans are more than medical profiles. Every aspect of our health is deeply influenced by the five foundational daily behaviors of sleep, food, movement, stress management, and social connection. And AI, by using the power of hyper-personalization, can significantly improve these behaviors. #digitalhealth #ai4health #precisionmedicine #healthcaretransformation

“Health is what happens between doctor visits.” A fantastic read in TIME by Arianna Huffington on how AI could improve health outcomes. So much of what determines a patient’s health happens outside the walls of the hospital and medical clinic. Everyday behaviors- like sleep, movement, socialization and stress management- matter! AI could help bridge this gap. A great read with lots to ponder! READ IT HERE: https://lnkd.in/eP3CbA28

“AI driven behavior could drive transformational healthcare changes!!” At a high-level, who would disagree with that statement?!? But who’s going to change, erratic and sporadic human behavior? 🤔 Arianna Huffington + Sam Altman from OpenAI are joining forces at Thrive AI - to “personalize” care to deliver on preventative and VBC models. It’s a MIGHTY mission, that lots have tried, and failed. Collaboration between: tech, providers, payor, and patients … that is our continued challenge in the US healthcare system. Will AI, Generative AI, large or hot off the presses, smaller language models help in delivering to this BOLD mission?!? Arianna Huffington - I fully stand in your corner in order to help you achieve this momentous feet!
