Datamaxxing is the latest AI trend and for once, it could be healthy for your health goals
Datamaxxing sounds like the sort of wellness trend that would involve a spreadsheet, three supplements, and far too much free time. People are feeding data from their wearables into AI chatbots and asking them to explain what all those numbers actually mean. The Wall Street Journal recently documented several people building systems around exactly that idea.
