Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Bias

• Training Data Bias – The underlying LLM and fine-tuning data may reflect biases in medical and wellness literature, leading to recommendations that favor certain diets, lifestyles, or cultural practices over others.

• Population Coverage – Recommendations may not generalize well across all age groups, socioeconomic backgrounds, or cultural contexts.

• Language & Accessibility – Performance may vary depending on user language, literacy level, or health literacy.

Risks

• Over-Reliance – Users may treat recommendations as medical advice, despite the model not being a medical device.

• Misinformation – While fine-tuned on medically informed data, errors or hallucinations are still possible, which could mislead users if not verified.

• Harmful Outcomes – Inaccurate or unsuitable suggestions (e.g., dietary or exercise recommendations that don’t match a user’s health status) could negatively affect well-being if followed without professional guidance.

• Emotional Impact – Guidance on mood or lifestyle could unintentionally trigger stress, guilt, or negative emotions if users feel they cannot meet suggested goals.

Limitations

• Not Personalized to Clinical Health Data – The model does not account for individual medical history, conditions, or prescriptions.

• Knowledge Cutoff – The model’s understanding of wellness and medical practices is limited to its training data and may not reflect the latest scientific evidence or guidelines.

• Contextual Understanding – The model may misinterpret ambiguous or incomplete user inputs, leading to irrelevant or generic recommendations.

• Scope of Advice – It provides general wellness support only and cannot substitute for professional healthcare or therapy.

Training Details

Training Data

This model was fine-tuned on a combination of guidelines, expert recommendations, hand-crafted datasets, and fitness tracker data focused on well-being. The training data includes:

• Diet and Nutrition Guidelines – Information from established dietary guidelines and recommendations for healthy eating habits.

• Exercise and Physical Activity – Knowledge about general fitness, exercise routines, and movement recommendations.

• Sleep, Stress, and Emotional Well-Being – Guidance on improving sleep quality, managing stress, and supporting mental and emotional wellness.

• Fitness Tracker Data – Aggregated and anonymized data from sources such as Fitbit to inform activity patterns, step counts, and general fitness trends.

Hand-Crafted Dataset:

• Curated content was created from publicly available resources and expert recommendations to emphasize safe, general wellness guidance.

• Text and tracker data were filtered and cleaned to remove personally identifiable information (PII) and unsafe or clinically inappropriate advice.

• The dataset was designed to provide general lifestyle and well-being recommendations, not individualized medical treatment.

Training Procedure

Steps in the Training Procedure:

• Base Model Selection: A medically fine-tuned LLM was selected as the starting point to leverage existing medical knowledge while focusing on safe, evidence-based recommendations.

• Adapter Fine-Tuning: -- LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) and PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning) techniques were applied to fine-tune adapters on curated wellness datasets. -- Test data and prompt engineering were used iteratively to evaluate model responses and improve alignment with wellness guidance.

• Model Merging and Evaluation:

-- Fine-tuned adapters were merged back into the base model.

-- Outputs were tested for coherence, safety, and relevance to diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and emotional well-being.

• Further Fine-Tuning:

-- Based on test results, additional custom datasets (including guidelines, expert recommendations, and anonymized fitness tracker data) were used to further refine the model.

-- Post-training filtering ensured removal of unsafe, biased, or clinically inappropriate outputs.

⚠️ Note: This model is designed for general wellness guidance only and is not a medical device.
