New agentic system uses wearables for auditable N-of-1 athlete physiology experiments

Researchers have developed EpiCoach, an agentic system designed for individualized physiological monitoring and experimental design using data from consumer wearables. This system treats athletes as subjects of N-of-1 science, with claims about their physiology logged in an auditable hypothesis registry. EpiCoach infers a digital twin from heart rate, GPS, and barometric altitude data to make probabilistic predictions about future training sessions and prescribes weekly experiments to maximize information gain while adhering to load and safety constraints. An eighteen-month evaluation showed the system's predictive capabilities and its potential for auditable, falsifiable personalization in digital health. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel framework for auditable and falsifiable personalization in digital health using LLM agents and wearable data.

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

    arXiv:2610.40370v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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 athlet…
