GenAI could make the Apple Watch a powerful healthcare tool – Computerworld

Generative AI (genAI) features added to an existing Apple Watch health app may light the path toward personalized and data-led healthcare for patients with Parkinson’s disease. The StrivePD app is made by Rune Labs, a California-based entity focused on delivering next-generation care for people with neurological disorders.

StrivePD has been enhanced with new genAI-created clinical reporting tools that provide in-depth data on a patient and the progression of their disease, and it delivers personalized educational content to patients, caregivers, and clinicians to improve outcomes.

What is StrivePD and how does it help?

The reports, allegedly HIPAA-compliant and shared with patients via email, are structured so patients get good insight into where they are with the disease, including summaries of their medication compliance, exercise, and symptom fluctuations. The app also delivers coaching in the form of exercise suggestions and tips around sleep patterns, and draws on data gathered by the Apple Watch (along with information shared by the patient).
