New peer-reviewed findings published in JMIR Diabetes reveals that an artificial intelligence (AI) health coaches is just as effective as in-person weight loss programs, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-led National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a clinically-proven weight loss program focused on type 2 diabetes prevention. The peer-reviewed research suggests AI has comparable results to the Diabetes Prevention Program by observing Lark, an AI chronic disease platform that brings unlimited, one-on-one chronic disease prevention and management to payors and employers. Lark’s AI Health Coach monitors a patient’s health through phone sensors and integrated health devices, then mimics nurses’ empathetic counseling through text-based communication. The Lark AI Health Coach monitors a patient’s health through phone sensors and integrated health devices, and then mimics nurses’ empathetic counseling through casual conversations that use text-based communication and other interactive elements. Lark is the only fully-AI driven Diabetes Prevention Program recognized by CDC, and was designed by leading behavior change experts and health faculty from Harvard and Stanford.
