Vitality AI<\/a>, which will integrate Google Cloud\u2019s advanced AI and data analytics. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe system will also use Vitality\u2019s vast health datasets and behavioural change expertise to understand how millions understand and manage their health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For South Africans, the intonation is already here, with its foundation lying in Discovery Health\u2019s Personal Health Pathways (PHP) integrated with Vitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis homegrown solution has already transformed the health and lifestyle journeys of hundreds of thousands of South Africans,\u201d said Discovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBuilt on Google Cloud Platform, PHP has delivered hyper-personalised health recommendations to over 433,000 members, driving more than 2.7 million exercise actions, 460,000 health actions, and over R35 million in rewards.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
PHP is primarily used by those who need it most, with 65% of activations from members with chronic conditions, and 41% from previously health-unengaged individuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Early data has shown a 5.7x increase in cancer screenings, a 2.3x rise in GP visits, and a 17.3x uplift in digital health actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is clear evidence of PHP\u2019s power to close care gaps and enable early detection and prevention,\u201d it said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It added that the launch of Vitality AI with Google represents the next evolution and will improve the intelligence, speed, and scalability of PHP\u2019s personalisation engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a South African innovation now being exported to the world, with the potential to extend healthy life expectancy by up to eight years and reshape the global health and insurance landscape.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
