"Using AI in this way would also scale and democratize the life-saving benefits of improving daily habits and address growing health inequities." Now THIS is how you leverage AI to support a human-centric, technology-driven future. I'm very excited about this joint venture announced yesterday by Arianna Huffington and Sam Altman. A personalized AI health coach to make it easier for everyone, everywhere, to apply Thrive Global's microstep methodologies and create healthier habits. A perfect example of how AI can change our lives for the better. 👏 #HumanCentricAI https://lnkd.in/g37gxMAX

Excited to see the first high profile attempt to use AI for more than marginal improvements in efficiency or replace mundane tasks - and tackling the important issue of self-care and healthy behavior change. As I have talked about repeatedly over the past 1.5 years, this has the potential to change health systems from the ground up. However, I also believe that this requires a fundamental reimagining of how we store and manage health data, and hand over power and control to people in the literal sense. I need to own my data, and give piecemeal/timebound access to my data, to such AIs and my health providers, if I am going to be comfortable handing it over to the likes of OpenAI and Google. Also, in the US this will be limited to non-clinical behavior change. In many parts of the world, where access to physicians is non-existent, this could be the only lifeline to any sort of quality care. There is a real opportunity in front of these low-resource health systems to leapfrog to the 21st century and skip all of the legacy infrastructure and perverse incentives and outdated legal frameworks that hold back Western countries from truly investing in re-envisioning people-centered healthcare. https://lnkd.in/exxeVQYf #SamA OpenAI Arianna Huffington Thrive Global

In an Op-Ed for TIME, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Arianna Huffinton of Thrive Global, write about how AI can transform healthcare and also announce the launch of their new AI Health Coach: Thrive AI Health. 🚀 Thrive AI Health, funded by the OpenAI #Startup Fund and Thrive Global, is developing a hyper personalized AI health coach. Available as a mobile app and within Thrive Global’s enterprise products, it will utilize peer reviewed science and Thrive's behavior change methodology, including Microsteps, which are small daily actions leading to healthier habits. The AI will be trained on personal biometric, lab, and medical data you share, learning your preferences and patterns across sleep, nutrition, movement, stress management, and social connection. With a long term memory, it provides real time, personalized recommendations to help you improve your daily health behaviors. This is a great use case for #AI, and it was also great to read how #OpenAI is partnering with Color Health on an AI copilot to assist doctors in cancer screening and in creating treatment plans after a doctor has made a diagnosis.

I'm not a regular follower of celebrity news, but when these two celebs are called Sam Altman and Arianna Huffington, and they write an article on #AI in #healthcare in TIME, it is worth checking out. Arianna, founder of the legendary site Huffington Post, and Altman, of OpenAI fame, are building an AI health coaching app together, called Thrive AI https://thrivelabs.ai/. Combining best practices of behaviour change and AI seems like a truly interesting combination. A space to watch closely, and an article that is worth a read in the noise of AI news. https://lnkd.in/ehKnMtyj

The prevalent modus operandi of AI companies is very much along the lines of "move fast and break things." Sucking up vast amounts of IP-protected information without consent to use in data sets is one of the most glaring problems. It was always somewhat inevitable that AI would enter the field of persuasion and human behavior modification. This raises some very thorny ethical questions, especially regarding informed consent and long-term psychological consequences. https://lnkd.in/dXRxvtEQ #aiethics #openai #aipersuasion #behaviormodification

Thrive Global and OpenAI have announced the launch of Thrive AI Health, a new company using artificial intelligence to provide expert-level health coaching to improve health outcomes and address health inequities. The Alice L. Walton Foundation is a strategic investor and Alice L. Walton School of Medicine is a launch partner alongside Stanford University School of Medicine and the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute. "Working together with Stanford Medicine and Thrive AI Health, we are excited to engage our faculty and future physicians to explore the use of AI Health Coach in ways that reflect our whole health approach,” said Sharmila Makhija MD MBA, the School’s Founding Dean and CEO. “We strongly believe AI will positively change the future of health care, from medical education to clinical care, and we are committed to leveraging this technology to its full potential."

OpenAI and Thrive are creating a hyper-personalized AI health coach. It uses scientific research, biometric data, and personal preferences for tailored advice. Looking at this innovation, it could be both a blessing and a curse. https://lnkd.in/euGq7zqE

🚀 Revolutionizing Healthcare with AI 🤖 Artificial Intelligence is not just a buzzword—it's a game-changer in the healthcare industry. A recent article by TIME highlights how AI is transforming patient care through behavior change. From personalized treatment plans to predictive analytics, AI is enabling healthcare providers to offer more precise and proactive care. 🌟 Imagine a world where your health data is continuously monitored and analyzed, providing real-time insights that can prevent diseases before they start. This isn't the future; it's happening now. AI is helping to create a more efficient, effective, and empathetic healthcare system. 🔍 Dive into the full article to see how AI is shaping the future of health #AI #Healthcare #Innovation #TechInHealthcare #FutureOfMedicine #HealthTech

So much of the conversation around AI has been about how much time it will save us and how productive it will make us. But AI could go well beyond efficiency and optimization to something much more fundamental: improving both our health spans and our lifespans. https://lnkd.in/eqSqwBwJ

https://lnkd.in/gDyE6fuJ "Policymakers need to create a regulatory environment that fosters AI innovation while safeguarding privacy. Healthcare providers need to integrate AI into their practices while ensuring that these tools meet rigorous standards for safety and efficacy. Individuals need to be fully empowered through AI coaching to better manage their daily health, with assurances that these technologies are reliable and that their health data will be handled responsibly. " AI is infiltrating our lives in many ways. It is important to have a regulatory framework in place both locally and at an international level. It is a framework created by humans for humans i.e., the human element must remain present. We must also look deep into the future and think about or even imagine both negative and positive scenarios of what our world will look like 1, 5, 10. 50, 100...years from now, and if we are all ok with that. The directions we take today will determine our future.
