A new AI model has been developed that can predict susceptibility to over 1,000 diseases, potentially revolutionizing personalized medicine and early diagnosis.
A new Apple-backed AI model, called the Wearable Behavior Model (WBM), analyzes behavioral data from Apple Watch to predict health conditions more accurately than traditional sensor-based methods, demonstrating the potential for advanced health monitoring through wearables.
Apple-supported research introduces WBM, a model trained on behavioral data from wearables that can predict health conditions with up to 92% accuracy, outperforming traditional sensor-based models in many tasks by focusing on higher-level behavioral metrics rather than raw sensor signals.
A recent study suggests that grip strength, easily measured at home or in clinics, is a strong predictor of lifespan, with weaker grips associated with a higher risk of death. While not the sole indicator of health, maintaining good grip strength through exercises may contribute to overall well-being, but it should be considered alongside other health measures.
