OpenAI Startup Fund & Arianna Huffington's Thrive Global Create New Company, Thrive AI Health, To Launch Hyper-Personalized AI Health Coach The OpenAI Startup Fund and Thrive Global announced today the creation of a new company, Thrive AI Health, exclusively devoted to building an AI health coach. The company's mission is to use AI to democratize access to expert-level health coaching to improve health outcomes. This will also address growing health inequities by bringing the power of behavior change to the urgent challenge of chronic diseases. The company will be funded by the OpenAI Startup Fund and Thrive Global as lead investors. The Alice L. Walton Foundation is a strategic investor in the new company, underscoring Thrive AI Health's focus on health equity. As Sam Altman and Arianna Huffington wrote in an op-ed in TIME, "So much of the conversation around AI has been about how much time it will save us and how productive it will make us. But AI could go well beyond efficiency and optimization to something much more fundamental: improving both our health spans and our lifespans. Because health is also what happens between doctor visits. In the same way the New Deal built out physical infrastructure to transform the country, AI will serve as part of the critical infrastructure of a much more effective health care system that supports everyday people's health in an ongoing way. These are some of the ideas behind Thrive AI Health." DeCarlos Love, a product leader who was most recently at Google, will be CEO of the new company. At Google, he led sensors, AI & ML algorithms as well as health and fitness experiences across all devices and platforms, including Fitbit by Google Fitness, Pixel Watch and Wear OS. Prior to Google, Love held product roles at Apple and Athos. His passion and experience are further cemented from spending time as a coach for different sports as well as developing a childhood obesity program in his hometown of Minneapolis. https://lnkd.in/dKuXxd_w By Thrive Global

Prophetic, a cutting-edge tech startup founded by Eric Wollberg and Wesley Berry, is at the forefront of developing an innovative wearable device aimed at stabilizing lucid dreams. This groundbreaking venture originated from Wollberg's deep intrigue into the exploration of consciousness through lucid dreams and Berry's expertise in translating neural signals into artistic creations while collaborating with musician Grimes. The duo's collaboration materialized into the creation of the "Halo," a revolutionary headband-like device capable of emitting focused ultrasound signals designed to induce lucid dreaming experiences. According to CNBC, in a significant financial milestone, Prophetic secured an impressive $1.1 million funding round. This funding was made possible through the participation of a16z’s Scout Fund and was led by BoxGroup, a venture capital firm celebrated for its early investment in fintech giant Plaid. Partnering with Card79, the company behind the hardware for Elon Musk’s Neuralink, Prophetic is diligently working on the development of the Halo prototype. What sets Prophetic apart is its unique methodology: they are employing a convolutional neural net to decode brain-imaging data into "tokens," which are then processed by a transformer model. This distinctive approach allows Prophetic to delve deep into the complexities of brain states, enabling the activation of the prefrontal cortex and inducing lucidity during dreams. To substantiate their technology, Prophetic has embarked on a comprehensive yearlong study in collaboration with the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour at Radboud University in the Netherlands. This study aims to collect crucial brain data, specifically focusing on gamma frequencies associated with the prefrontal cortex's activity during lucid dreams. Wesley and Eric's revolutionary approach hints at a significant leap in the realm of dream exploration and consciousness studies. Prophetic's mission, encapsulated in their statement on LinkedIn, is to collectively unravel the mysteries of consciousness, setting the stage for a pioneering leap in the field of dream technology.
