Improving Men's Health: Harnessing AI for Objective Insights
Men's Health Month, observed in June, serves as a timely reminder for individuals to prioritize their well-being. If you are or know someone who shies away from preventive health screenings, you’re not alone. According to a Cleveland Clinic survey, 72% of men would rather clean the bathroom than go and see their doctor [1].
But remember preventive health isn’t only about screening for scary diseases. Knowing how we measure on certain key health markers can help us make small changes to our everyday habits which can result in big payoffs down the line. The key to maintaining independence and freedom is to take a proactive stance now.
In this era of cutting-edge technology and data, anyone can leverage innovative solutions to objectively measure and track their health, even without time consuming appointments with specialists. ZIBRIO, in combination with its user-friendly app, empowers men to obtain daily balance scores and monitor their progress over time. Let's explore how this revolutionary technology is transforming the way men approach their well-being.
Objective Measurements: The Key to Personal Health Improvement
Mobility and balance are fundamental to health all the way through life. Losing this ability can create a cascade of negative health consequences across every system in the body. But it’s difficult to tell how someone is doing without measuring it, any more than you can ‘feel’ how your blood pressure is doing from one day to the next.
Technology in fitness trackers can help users understand their sleep patterns, heart rate and step count, which is a good start. However, balance is affected by a number of factors, and not everyone responds in the same way. To make it meaningful, it needs to be personalized to the user and sensitive enough to detect changes, both positive and negative.
Just as most people find they overestimate how many steps they take in a day until they measure it, most people overestimate their balance, usually by blindly hoping it’ll be okay until it’s not.
“My Balance must be fine. I haven’t fallen yet!”
A new technology, which was runner-up in 2023 NASA Invention of the Year Award, revolutionizes this approach by introducing objective measurements through its cutting-edge technology. The ZIBRIO Stability Scale uses artificial intelligence to provide users with a clear and quantifiable indicator of their overall balance and stability.
With this objective data, users can gain valuable insights into their health status, beyond mere weight measurements. Balance is a crucial aspect of physical health, especially as we age. By monitoring balance regularly, users can identify potential areas of improvement, particularly as they pertain to the six pillars of balance. Preserving balance is essential for injury prevention and maintaining an active and independent lifestyle.
Track Your Progress Over Time: Unveiling Patterns and Trends
Consistency is key when it comes to maintaining good health. The ZIBRIO BalanceCoach app allows users to track their progress over time, offering a comprehensive overview of their balance health journey. By analyzing patterns and trends, they can identify positive changes or areas that require more attention, fostering a proactive approach to their well-being.
Tracking progress through the BalanceCoach app also offers motivation and encouragement. Celebrating milestones and achievements, no matter how small, can boost confidence and inspiration to continue on a health journey. Moreover, the app provides actionable exercises tailored to individual needs, enabling users to make informed decisions for their well-being.
Prioritizing Preventative Health: Overcoming Barriers
Preventative health measures often take a backseat in the lives of busy individuals, and men are no exception. According to Harvard Health, three times as many women as men report seeing a doctor in the previous year [2]. However, the ability to track and measure health objectively on one’s own time eliminates some of the barriers to prioritizing well-being.
With ZIBRIO, men have access to a convenient and efficient tool that seamlessly integrates into their daily routines. The Stability Home Scale requires minimal effort—just one minute unlocks their balance score. The app then provides a comprehensive overview of the user’s balance and an entire library of exercises to improve it.
Additionally, ZIBRIO encourages a holistic approach to health by promoting awareness of the six pillars of balance, six factors that work together to improve or hinder balance in your daily life. By addressing balance and stability, men can lay a strong foundation for their overall health.
Men's Health Month serves as a reminder for men to take charge of their well-being and prioritize preventative health measures. With ZIBRIO technology, men can leverage cutting-edge technology and objective data to measure and track their health progress. By regularly monitoring their balance scores and tracking trends, men can identify areas for improvement and proactively address their health needs. The convenience and user-friendly nature of the Stability scale makes it a powerful tool for integrating preventative health measures seamlessly into everyday life. Let's embrace the power of measurement and data to optimize men's health and well-being.
