Business vs After-Hours Use of an Artificial Intelligence–Powered Digital Health Platform Among Insured Patients

Digital health programs powered by artificial intelligence (AI) offer patients and clinicians the convenience of accessing and delivering health care services remotely, enabling patients to manage their health from anywhere, at any time. However, there is limited evidence of when patients engage with digital health. This cross-sectional study assessed utilization patterns of a commercially available digital health platform. The primary hypothesis was that members would engage more often with AI-powered coaching after hours than during business hours. This study leveraged data from 79?437 members who participated in 1?464?752 unique coaching sessions from January 2022 to April 2023 on a platform called Lark that offers chronic disease prevention and management programs covered by members’ insurance. They analyzed the percentage of coaching sessions that occurred by hour Monday to Sunday. The findings of this study suggest that many people seek support for prevention and management of their health conditions after standard business hours.
