Promoting active health with AI technologies: Current status and prospects of high-altitude therapy, simulated hypoxia, and LLM-driven lifestyle rehabilitation approaches

Abstract

In the context of the rising global prevalence of obesity, traditional intervention measures have proven insufficient to meet the demands of personalized and sustainable health management, necessitating the exploration of innovative solutions through innovative technologies. This study explores how advanced digital technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), can manage weight and enhance full-lifecycle health in individuals with obesity under simulated high-altitude hypoxic conditions (HC). The findings suggest that integrating simulated HC with digital health technologies offers a novel and safe approach to obesity rehabilitation. By leveraging environmental stimuli, real-time monitoring through wearable devices, and intelligent evaluation using large language models (LLMs), this method enables more scientific weight loss, prevents rebound weight gain, and fosters proactive healthy lifestyles, significantly improving weight control outcomes for individuals with obesity. Future research should evaluate the efficacy of simulated HC in weight management and its long-term impact on obesity control. Establishing an integrated framework that combines simulated HC, lifestyle interventions, and smart health ecosystems is crucial for advancing rehabilitative healthcare and addressing the global burden of obesity through digital innovation.
