Meet GERI, the artificial intelligence personal coach
SINGAPORE - Personal trainers can be expensive but for those looking to get fit, they can also provide the right motivation. Now you can install the personal coach GERI on your mobile device for free. Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), GERI is designed to help users achieve their fitness goals. First, users select one out of four "health goals" - gaining muscle, losing weight, feeling better or getting fitter - on the application called GETGREAT. GERI, the personal coach on the app, will then assign the relevant programmes.
Who'll Be the First to Meld With the Machines? Diabetics
Tia Geri is the shortest player on her club soccer team. Geri, who turned 17 last month, has been playing with the same group of girls for almost as long as she's been living with type 1 diabetes. And while she's not the only one on the team with the disease, she is the only one with an artificial pancreas--a computer system that can control her insulin levels without her telling it to. A sensor on her abdomen monitors the glucose in her blood, and a pump adds the insulin her body needs to turn that sugar into energy. Geri is one of the first people in the country to get the MiniMed 670G, the first bionic pancreas to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
