Spector et al<\/a>, Dr. Lim pointed out that even identical twins can have different physiological responses to food as they have different gut microbiome composition. <\/p>\nAs a microbiome firm, the company has amassed data on individuals\u2019 diet, gut microbiome, sleep and stress levels, which can be combined with artificial intelligence in providing personalized nutrition based on an individual\u2019s microbiome. <\/p>\n
\u201cAMILI has expertise in gut health and has amassed petabytes worth of data. Google, on the other hand, has very deep expertise in AI and interestingly has a food team as well. We then decided that we can join forces to personalize recommendations based on an individual\u2019s microbiome and blood glucose response to foods.\u201d <\/p>\n
Google, on the other hand, said that the partnership would help advance preventative health with the use of AI. <\/p>\n
\u201cCombining AMILI\u2019s Asian-centric gut microbiome data and nutrition expertise with Google\u2019s cloud and AI technologies like Gemini, the program tailors nutrition and lifestyle suggestions to users based on their unique microbiome patterns, metabolic health, and goals,\u201d Google said in a press release. <\/p>\n
Targeting behavioral change <\/p>\n
The mobile app is also designed to promote behavioral change and encourage the uptake of healthier diets – a feature that will be rolled out in the second phase of the launch. <\/p>\n
\u201cBecause we are behaviorally different and we are motivated by different things, by combining biology with behavioral insights, we can then hyper personalize the recommendations and the nudges that will drive behavior,\u201d Dr. Lim said. <\/p>\n
As such, in the second stage of its launch, the mobile app will be enhanced with the function of recommending restaurants and meal options that support an individual\u2019s health goals using Google Maps. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will then be able to make very actionable recommendations. Instead of telling people that they should eat more of this and less of that, we can recommend in real time, based on people\u2019s location, the restaurants that provide the most optimal diet and nutrition for their current state of health,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
The intention is to make it easier for users to choose healthier meals. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to make sure that people are not just empowered with nutrition knowledge but also reduce the friction and make it easier for people to find the places where they can get affordable and healthy meals,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
The mobile app will also give recommendations on the types of physical activities that users can take part in to achieve their daily health goals. <\/p>\n
Ecosystem change <\/p>\n
Lastly, the partnership aims to promote healthier meals and nutrition uptake by involving the wider ecosystem, which may include governments, insurers and employers. <\/p>\n
An example could be the employers providing cashback for employees who have selected healthier meal options. <\/p>\n
According to Google, further collaboration with healthcare clusters and health agencies is being explored to bring the tool to Singaporeans as part of a wider precision nutrition program. <\/p>\n
\u201cOver time, these micro decisions will shape a person\u2019s mindset and help one become much more conscious about health,\u201d said Dr. Lim. \u201cTo sum up, this is a rare opportunity for AMILI and Google to partner and to contribute to a health-promoting ecosystem, and in a nutshell, this is what the entire program is about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Known as AMILI Optimise, the mobile app will be launched in three key phases.
