Personal Health Coach Platform: An Integrated Digital Health Optimization System

Cesar Martinez
INFM480: Capstone Project for IT & Informatics
Digital Health & AI-Driven Personalization

Project Overview

This capstone project addresses the growing need for affordable, accessible, and integrated personal health coaching. Traditional coaching services offer tailored guidance but remain out of reach for many due to high costs and fragmented digital tools.

The proposed Personal Health Coach Platform consolidates multiple health markers including blood work results, macro- and micronutrient intake, sleep patterns, and wearable device data into a unified system. Using rule-based algorithms and an AI chatbot module, the platform delivers personalized recommendations, trend detection, and health risk alerts.

The project combines a mixed-methods research approach (survey-based data collection) with conceptual system design and low-fidelity prototype evaluation to validate user needs and platform feasibility.
