Kaia Health is a digital therapeutics startup that uses computer vision for posture tracking via mobile phones. With the selfie camera of a smartphone, Kaia Health’s proprietary AI algorithms can analyze movements in real-time to evaluate performance and guide users through training. It turns your smartphone or tablet into a digital personal trainer. What can Kaia Health computer vision technology do?
- Track your body’s movement: Identify body landmarks in an image or video to understand someone’s posture and movement.
- Ensure proper form during exercise: Make exercising fun and safe by analyzing form and delivering real-time corrective feedback.
- Quantify movement as a digital biomarker: Calculate flexibility, range of motion, and stability to determine fitness level and other measures of health.
Embedded AI
What do all three successful companies above have in common? They all use AI while serving their customers. In fact, they don’t just “use” it, AI is embedded in the solution/service they provide. No matter how difficult or complicated the subject is, AI will break them into pieces and guide the person to achieve each and every step.
For most of the people in the technology industry, AI is the most important innovation of humankind -even beats electricity-. As machines become increasingly capable, other disciplines such as computer science, statistics, psychology, linguistics, philosophy are more involved, artificial intelligence continues to advance at a rapid pace. The field of AI has made unprecedented progress in recent years especially in machine learning, image processing, and natural learning processing. The explosion of data generated by billions through consumer applications in the last 20 years has just been the fuel to the fire. We now have self-driving vehicles, back-flipping robots, synthetic videos, real-time translation.
Not Just Automate but Manage it
While General Artificial Intelligence seems too far away from reality, advancements have narrowed down to specific problems. The more input -data- we feed into the system, the better decision it comes up with. Most of the repetitive, low-skilled, or dangerous tasks are being fully automated but that doesn’t exclude the fact that the ultimate goal is to have an augmented intelligence. In certain use cases such as serial production, military, or autonomous driving we have come a long way already. Think about our routine in our cars before driving in the last 15–20 years. We open the Google Map, search where we want to go, stick the mobile phone to a dashboard and start driving. If you ask any teen today, she would probably question why you wouldn’t tell the car where to go at the first place so it automatically connects to the map and drives you autonomously.
The traditional approach to automation assumes that the function of a computer boils down to collecting, processing, and presenting information to a person, who already makes decisions. Imagine that the roles have changed. There is a myriad of tasks that a self-learning system can do better than any human being. The most experienced specialist can accumulate tens of thousands of hours of experience, he knows how to behave in any situation in which he had to visit. A bot can accumulate millions of hours and experience based on simulated situations that have never happened before.
Apps that are run by advanced algorithms change the way we work -and live- too. There is no human at Uber’s operation center sending drivers to a specific address. It’s all done by an AI. Once the system understands more about you and all other stakeholders, it gets better. (Having said that, I’m aware that the road to have an unbiased/ethical/trustworthy AI is long but that’s for another article.)
AI will become more personalized. We already see this in language apps, “brain” games and online courses. They store what you read/watch/answer, track your progress, offer you content based on your level. The best part is; they can do that concurrently to an infinite number of people. Once it becomes more personalized, it actually becomes more than a trainer, fulfills coaching and mentoring roles too.

What do all these have to do with proptech? Well, I came across an inspring AI company, Agently that wants to put real estate agents on auto-control. It works like a Robo-brokerage, helping them to set a target, telling them what they should do to reach it, and guiding them every day until they do.
Whilst the historical broker-agent networks are being disrupted by cloud-based ones, start-ups like Agently will certainly accelerate that shift. It also helps brokers to have a relationship like they never had, to be their coach rather than a boss.
