AI agent EpiCoach pioneers auditable N-of-1 science for personalized athlete physiology

Researchers have developed EpiCoach, an agentic system designed for individualized physiological science using data from consumer wearables. This system treats a single athlete as a subject for accountable N-of-1 scientific experimentation, with claims about the athlete's physiology logged in an evidence-gated hypothesis registry. EpiCoach uses a mechanistic digital twin inferred from heart rate, GPS, and altitude data to make probabilistic predictions about future training sessions. The agent prescribes weekly training as a constrained experiment to maximize information gain while adhering to load and safety constraints, with a prospective phase demonstrating its predictive capabilities and safety vetoes.

    The Athlete as a Scientist of One: Agentic Bayesian Experimental Design for Individualized Physiology from Consumer Wearables

    Large language model (LLM) agents for personal health read wearable data and recommend, but do not learn about the individual in a way that can be audited or falsified. We present EpiCoach, an agentic system that treats one athlete, a cross-country mountain biker, as the subject …
