Algorithmic Wellness Bias

Meaning

Algorithmic Wellness Bias describes a systemic, non-deliberate error embedded within digital health and wellness algorithms that results in disproportionately favoring or neglecting certain demographic or physiological groups when generating health recommendations or diagnostics, particularly in the domain of hormonal balance. This bias leads to skewed or inaccurate wellness guidance for individuals whose endocrine profiles deviate from the model’s majority-based training data. The consequence is a potential disparity in the quality and relevance of personalized hormonal health advice.
