Arianna Huffington, founder of Huffington Post, and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, have teamed up to create Thrive AI Health to develop AI-driven health assistant tools to promote healthier lifestyles.
This is not the first time OpenAI has entered the medical field. In April this year, OpenAI reached an agreement with Modna to use AI to accelerate the drug research and development process. In June, OpenAI announced a partnership with medical startup Color Health to develop an AI assistant copilot to help doctors screen and treat cancer patients.
The newly formed Thrive AI Health is supported by Huffington’s mental health company Thrive Global and the OpenAI Entrepreneurship Fund. The company plans to create an “AI health coach” to provide personalized advice on sleep, diet, fitness, stress management and relationships.
Former Fitbit executive DeCarlos Love has been named CEO. Strategic investors include Wal-Mart co-founder Helen Walton’s Alice Walton Foundation. Alice Walton School of Medicine is one of Thrive AI Health’s first medical partners.
Huffington and Altman said in a Time magazine column that Thrive AI Health plans to work with Stanford Medicine and other institutions to train AI health “coaches” based on scientific research and medical data. They described a virtual assistant in smartphone apps and enterprise products that can learn from user behavior and provide real-time health advice.
Thrive AI Health raised US$15 million from the OpenAI Entrepreneurship Fund. Currently, Thrive AI Health has not officially announced the specific financing amount.
