arXiv:2409.08700v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Early detection of chronic and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) is crucial for effective treatment during the initial stages. This study explores the application of wearable devices and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in order to predict weight loss changes in overweight and obese individuals. Using wearable data from a 1-month trial involving around 100 subjects from the AI4FoodDB database, including biomarkers, vital signs, and behavioral data, we identify key differences between those achieving weight loss (>= 2% of their initial weight) and
The proliferation of wearable devices and advancements in AI/machine learning capabilities are making personalized health interventions increasingly feasible and effective.
This study demonstrates how AI, combined with ubiquitous wearable technology, can create personalized health management systems, potentially improving public health outcomes and reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases.
The shift from general health recommendations to highly personalized, data-driven interventions for weight management, indicating a more effective approach to preventative healthcare.
