Thrive AI Health, a new health-tech start-up supported by OpenAI, is on a mission to revolutionize user behavior towards better health outcomes. Founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and entrepreneur Arianna Huffington, the company aims to personalize and scale behavior changes related to sleep, food, fitness, stress management, and connection using artificial intelligence (AI).
In a recent op-ed on Time, Altman and Huffington highlighted the potential for AI to enhance not just efficiency but overall health and well-being. By focusing on improving health behaviors between doctor visits, Thrive AI Health seeks to serve as a fundamental infrastructure supporting individuals’ health on a daily basis. The platform will leverage generative AI to encourage positive changes in user behavior, leading to significant improvements in health outcomes.
DeCarlos Love, a former product leader at Google with extensive experience in health and fitness technology, has been appointed as the CEO of Thrive AI Health. The company has received investments from the OpenAI Startup Fund, Thrive Global, and the Alice L Walton Foundation, signaling strong support for its innovative approach to health coaching.
Love emphasized the unprecedented opportunity presented by AI to drive powerful and sustainable behavior change. Thrive AI Health aims to address the limitations of current AI solutions by providing personalized, proactive, and data-driven coaching across various daily behaviors. With a focus on improving health outcomes, reducing healthcare costs, and impacting chronic diseases globally, the platform is poised to make a significant difference in the health-tech landscape.
As emerging tech trends continue to shape the future, Thrive AI Health’s innovative approach to behavior change through AI-powered coaching represents a promising development in the quest for better health and well-being.
