Everyone’s health and wellness journey is unique, and AI can help create more personalized health experiences to match this individuality. We're researching how fine-tuning Gemini models for personal health and wellness can unlock novel insights and interactions for consumers. Imagine an AI that not only understands your health data from wearables but also gives you personalized insights and recommendations, like a virtual health coach. Our two new research papers explore this in depth: Towards a Personal Health Large Language Model (PH-LLM): We've fine-tuned Gemini models to create PH-LLM, which generates personalized sleep and fitness recommendations comparable to human experts. Transforming Wearable Data into Personal Health Insights using Large Language Model Agents: This agent system leverages code generation and information retrieval to analyze your wearable data, providing detailed insights into your health patterns. These advances demonstrate how AI can help us better understand our health data and make more informed decisions about our well-being. We look forward to continuing research into how generative AI can enable novel health experiences. Read more: https://goo.gle/3RnwHbl

📢 New research! Our latest study demonstrates the potential of Fitbit-based interventions to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs for insufficiently active adults. 🔍 What we did: We developed a simulation model to evaluate the impact of a Fitbit-based physical activity intervention on physical activity levels, chronic disease incidence, and healthcare costs over 15 years. 📊 Key findings: Our analysis reveals that Fitbit interventions could lead to lower costs and increased quality-adjusted life years compared to usual care, as well as substantial cost savings. This is primarily due to the benefits of greater physical activity, leading to reduced short-term healthcare costs and lower incidence of chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension. 💡 Why it matters: These findings highlight the potential of wearable technology to not only improve individual health but also generate substantial cost savings for healthcare payers.

Every plant, animal and human cell holds billions of molecular machines made up of proteins, DNA and other molecules. 🧬 No single piece works on its own, and only by seeing how they interact together, across millions of types of combinations, can we start to truly understand life’s processes. Enter AlphaFold 3. This revolutionary model can predict the structure and interactions of all life’s molecules with unprecedented accuracy, transforming our understanding of the biological world and drug discovery, as scientists can access the majority of its capabilities for free through our newly launched AlphaFold Server, an easy-to-use research tool.
