A recent survey of 2,000 US adults revealed that more than 35% people are currently using artificial intelligence (AI) to learn about their health metrics.
Up to 31% of individuals are using cutting-edge technology to learn about certain medical conditions. 25% of people are using it to prepare weekly meals and recipes, and 23% individuals learn new exercise routines for an improved lifestyle.
Notably, nearly a quarter of current users (24%) are using AI to fact-check their wellness information from a range of sources, including health professionals and other social media platforms.
With a rapidly evolving world where AI is transforming industries and reshaping everything, trust in AI is significantly increasing, with 63% trusting the technology for health information and guidance.
The survey led by Talker Research for The Vitamin Shoppe’s annual Trend Report suggested that 21% of AI users are already using it to get insights about their health metrics.
President of The Vitamin Shoppe, Muriel Gonzalez, stated, “As AI becomes an increasingly powerful tool for health-conscious consumers, this year’s Trend Report revealed other key innovations that are shaping behaviors in the wellness space.”
“These include the NAD+ boom for longevity and cellular health, new applications for peptides in sports nutrition, and the surging demand for protein in functional foods and on-the-go beverages."
"Additionally, we’re seeing people gravitating towards alternative supplement delivery formats like liquids and gummies, plus the re-discovery of time-honored adaptogens like shilajit by a new generation of wellness seekers,” Gonzalez added.
Regardless of whether or not they use AI, up to 73% of people like to keep track record of their health.
However, nearly 68% of Americans find AI trustworthy to keep a track of their health and wellness.
