Ready for a reality check on your wellness gadgets? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we yank back the curtain on the brave new world of AI-powered self-care—and ask whether your “smart” coach is a lifesaver or a data-hungry overlord.

What you’ll hear in five fast-paced minutes:

• From step counters to mind readers
  Discover how today’s AI tools detect stress in your voice, predict burnout from heart-rate variability, and tailor workouts on the fly—no human trainer required.

• Chatbots with couch credentials
  Meet Woebot and Wysa, therapy bots using evidence-based techniques. One has already logged over five million private conversations—yours could be next.

• Your breath, decoded
  Lumen’s handheld sensor analyzes a single exhale to reveal whether you’re torching carbs or fat, then spits out meal plans driven by machine-learning models of real-world metabolisms.

• Wearables that learn you
  Whoop bands and Oura Rings don’t just track sleep; they study it, adjust recovery advice in real time, and promise a fitter, sharper you—if you dare share the data.

• Selfies for science
  L’Oréal’s Skin Genius AI turns your phone camera into a pocket dermatologist, flagging pores and pigmentation before you spot them in the mirror.

• The privacy trade-off
  We break down the fine print no one reads: when mood logs, late-night journals, and breathing patterns become gold mines for advertisers—and how to protect yourself.

Key takeaways:

AI can supercharge digital wellness, personalizing everything from mental-health check-ins to nutrition plans. But unchecked, it can blur the line between self-care and surveillance. Use the tech—just don’t let it use you.
