The Future of Wellness: AI in Personalized Healthcare

This article has been contributed by Ruchika Gupta, CEO, Health Click Away.

There is a general agreement that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going to revolutionise every aspect of our lives. Health, wellness and fitness is one area where we can expect significant developments driven by AI. The biggest change we are going to see is the level of personalised recommendations that AI allows the platforms to deliver to its users. This is made possible by AI-driven analytics.

Imagine a health and fitness app that tracks your fitness and diet progress in real time and adapts the recommendations accordingly instead of sending out a static set of plans shared on a weekly basis. That is what Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings to the table – real-time insights, adaptability and customization.

Health and fitness apps are really nothing new, and many have been using it for years. These apps are a treasure trove of personal data that haven’t been leveraged to the fullest to deliver optimum results for the users. In most cases,, the fitness, diet, and health data are filled in manually. These sit in siloes without giving any meaningful insights that the coaches and nutritionists can use to make a positive difference in the user’s health and fitness journey.

This is where AI can make a difference for the better. AI, when integrated into a health platform, can bring in a change for the better in health, wellness and fitness – making it more meaningful and effective. AI-powered health platforms are transforming personal wellness by providing highly personalized insights, data analysis through real-time monitoring,, and proactive health recommendations. These platforms are enabling individuals to take a more proactive approach to managing their health through customized nutrition plans, tailored workout routines, and early detection of potential health concerns.

AI Is Revolutionising the Sports Industry

AI is now driving a significant amount of development in the sports and fitness industry. It is in fact, revolutionising the way a sportsperson trains, boosts endurance and enhances performance. It is bringing in considerable improvements in player performance analysis, injury prevention, game strategy development, fan engagement, and even refereeing decisions. By delivering more data-driven insights, AI-powered sports platforms are enabling advanced analytics and real-time tracking capabilities for optimized decision-making across all levels of sports.

The AI-powered platform for sports can be used by both the coach and the sportsperson to analyse the game, movements and opponents play in real-time. Such platforms deliver true insights that can transform a sportsperson’s game by providing a highly personalised training, fitness and nutrition plan. The app can track the sports and fitness enthusiast’s movements and monitor heart rate, state of exertion and fatigue to optimise their training plan. It helps the coaches to refine the fitness and training strategies and refine the sportsperson’s techniques.

AI is seen to be having a major impact on the sports industry by making accessible data-driven insights and optimising decision-making across all levels of sports through advanced analytics and real-time tracking capabilities powered by AI algorithms.

Enabling Personalized Coaching Through AI Technologies

The innovations driven by AI have the potential to transform sports events like athletics, cricket, football, and so on – improving the way sports persons train, perform and recover. Coaches can use AI-driven platforms to study a player’s performance around factors like gait pattern, speed, fatigue and endurance levels. It can help a coach develop recommendations for personal wellness management, performance levels, fitness and exercise routines and right nutrition. In fact, such platforms can be used to put in place hyper-personalised training plans for each player to prevent muscle fatigue, prevent injury and boost stamina.

AI-powered platforms enable the coaches to offer specialised programmes to the sportsperson and fitness enthusiasts. They can track workout intensity, technique and results in real-time to make data-driven changes to the fitness programs. Coaches can keep a check on the sportspersons' muscle fatigue, recovery rate and strength levels. With this they can create diet and workout programs to meet the person’s health needs.

When coaches use an AI-powered fitness platform, they can save time by automating the tracking and fitness planning for the users. Since they get AI-driven insights, the coaches are able to deliver more accurate fitness results and avoid overtraining risks and injuries. Moreover, sportspeople can boost their performance based on the insights they receive from AI-driven data. AI also allows coaches and fitness experts to offer virtual training modes and feedback.

Smart Nutrition and Benefits for Athletes and Fitness Enthusiasts

Many fitness enthusiasts, when starting out their fitness journey, tend to take up with any diet fad that they may have read or heard about. Most times, the diet they tend to follow does not deliver the required nutrition for optimal performance. Even regular fitness apps are not easy when it comes to managing diet and nutrition plans since the user has to manually log in every data around food. In most cases, they are given generic nutrition advice and diet plans.

With AI, the app can analyse the user preference, dietary restrictions, nutrition needs and health goals to create tailored meal plans. With AI meal-planning is made easy – highly personalised diet plans are created for the individual based on their weight loss and nutrition plan. Apps with AI nutrition assistants also help users keep to the diet plan by suggesting healthier food alternatives based on the nutrition needs. AI-powered platforms also have capabilities for food recognition, where they can log the calories automatically based on photos for the meals uploaded by the users. This obviously helps fitness enthusiasts and sports persons to track their calorie intake and adjust their meal plans accordingly – the best bit is that it can all be done with the click of a button.

Data-Driven Fitness Plans Promote a Healthier Lifestyle

Based on the way data is collected and analysed by an AI-powered health platform, it is right to say that it can be used to lead a healthier, wellness-first lifestyle. This starts with personalised health plans. AI algorithms in the platforms study individual health data like activity levels, diet, sleep patterns, and genetic information to develop a customised health and fitness plan with recommendations for the right diet and nutrition and workout routines based on specific wellness goals. Users can improve their diet habits by opting for nutrition coaching led by AI algorithms. Based on dietary intake and weight goals, the AI-powered health platform can advise meal plans, nutrient balance and improved eating habits.

Another aspect in which AI-driven health platforms can help a user is in sleep optimisation. A user can log in their sleeping habits, which the AI analyses to suggest adjustments to sleep routines for improved sleep quality. Mental health is another area which can be supported by these platforms. Besides getting support from actual therapists registered on the app, the user can also take the help of virtual assistants to get guidance of managing stress, anxiety, depression and such.

The AI-powered health platforms are highly convenient to use because of automated systems, increased accessibility and user-friendly interfaces. We find that AI is increasingly becoming pervasive in sports, fitness and wellness sectors because of the hyper-personalisation it offers.
