CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InsideTracker, a leader in data-driven health technology, is pleased to introduce Terra, a first-of-its-kind virtual coach that enables its members to dive deep into their own body.
Terra builds on the success of Ask InsideTracker, a native AI tool released last year and now one of the platform's most popular features. With this major version update, Terra becomes a personalized health coach with the ability to access information and offer recommendations typically limited to high-end concierge medicine.
'We've been building AI systems for a decade, so the recent energy around this sector has been a tremendous opportunity for us,' said Rony Sellam, CEO of InsideTracker. 'Our members are now able to take advantage of advanced health tools unlike anything else on the market. The real breakthrough here is that these different types of AI are more effective when paired together. It's a huge testament to our engineers and data scientists that we're able to bring this solution to life.'
Terra will have access to InsideTracker's blood-based biomarker data and other vital health information. This includes a users' body composition, sleep habits, supplement intake, fitness tracker data and food and exercise preferences.
Terra answers sensitive questions quickly and develops a deep understanding of how underlying health metrics affect daily life. It can interpret blood results, troubleshoot symptoms, and find solutions that lead to improvements in health metrics. For example, you can ask, 'What is the number one thing I can do to improve my health right now?'
Terra can quickly scan your data and give you a personalized reply. It might say: 'This week, focus on optimizing your sleep. You have three blood biomarkers hurting your body's ability to rest and recover. These are low vitamin D, low magnesium, and high hsCRP.'
From there, Terra can recommend how to get those three biomarkers into the optimal range to effectively improve your sleep and overall health.
Other questions may include:
'How do I lower my thyroid-stimulating hormone?'
'What vitamins should I take based on my blood test?'
'Why have I been feeling so tired lately?'
With access to increasingly rich data, Terra will know a users' individual workout habits, mealtimes, genetic predispositions, and more to build and rebuild personalized health plans tailored to every individual's schedule, preferences, sense of urgency, and physiological needs. When habits or health data change, Terra will be able to guide you back to a healthy, science-backed routine.
InsideTracker members who have participated in our beta testing reported: 'I loved the personal experience, it looked at my health profile and knew what stage of menopause I was in, then looked at my blood results and provided answers to my questions'; 'Terra provided a very intuitive interaction that referenced my results specifically'; 'Informative, got immediate answers to my questions'.
InsideTracker has been pushing boundaries with AI for over 10 years. Its original AI model, SegterraX, is a central feature of InsideTracker's membership plan and is built on a type of AI known as knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR), which is designed to reason like a human expert.
With Terra, InsideTracker merges its KRR with an LLM. This approach creates a powerful Dual AI system that results in greater health insights for members while keeping in place guardrails that prevent AI hallucinations, bad information, and the additional drawbacks that commonly plague other AI models. According to an InsideTracker customer survey, 9 in 10 respondents trust Terra's advice and insights. This signals a significant advantage over other AI models, which often have low consumer trust in regards to health and wellness.
'Terra represents a fundamental shift in how people will interact with their health data,' said Renée Deehan, PhD, InsideTracker's Senior Vice President of Science and AI. 'Unlike a human, AI has infinite patience to work through complex issues, and with this advancement, it can now cross-reference personal health data with peer-reviewed science. It's like having unrestricted access to a team of experts across multiple fields of study.'
Terra is built on OpenAI's GPT-4, but it filters replies through the user's blood data and personal health profile, along with InsideTracker's proprietary library of educational material. This results in a hallucination-free conversation that eliminates the noise of unscientific health advice. It's also completely secure. While Terra knows details about the user's health, it does not have access to their name, DOB, or other identifying information. In addition, InsideTracker is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type II certified for privacy and security.
Terra is the first AI agent focused on health data to provide personalized lifestyle guidance based directly on an individual users' blood, nutrition, and exercise data, in a private and secure service. No chatbot or AI agent has been able to deliver this experience, until now. With access to blood data and other sources of health information, Terra can deliver instant access to clinical expertise to anyone.
