- Stanford Medicine developed My Heart Counts, an app using artificial intelligence to encourage users to exercise more effectively than human experts.
- The AI within the application adapts suggestions based on the Transtheoretical Model of exercise, customizing prompts based on user profiles and preferences.
- The AI’s personalized messaging is considered the “secret sauce” of the app due to its ability to provide customized encouragement without the need for user interactions, making it cost-effective.
- The developers rebuilt the application using a new system called Spezi, which facilitates easier updates and future expansion to other health areas.
- Users can participate in health research through the My Heart Counts app, becoming “citizen scientists” that contribute both personal health insights and valuable data for broader health studies.
