In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is stepping into the role of personal fitness coach—and actually outperforming humans at motivating us to move. We dive into the groundbreaking research behind MHC-Coach, a Stanford-developed AI model fine-tuned on behavioral psychology, designed to deliver just the right nudge at just the right time.

Topics Covered:

• Why behavior change is one of healthcare’s biggest challenges

• How the MHC-Coach uses the “Stages of Change” model to personalize motivation

• Why AI-generated messages outperformed human-written ones in a large-scale study

• The role of Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAI) in real-time health nudges

• The potential of AI as a scalable, empathetic health behavior coach
