Vital Forge
An AI health & wellness coach that personalises to each member’s real behavioural data.
Vital Forge Coaching is a full-stack AI coaching platform built for men aged 45+, replacing the traditional 1:1 human-coach model with an AI-driven system that personalises itself to each member’s real behavioural data rather than generic health content. Members are onboarded through an adaptive assessment, given a personalised AI coaching plan, and kept engaged with weekly WhatsApp check-ins, monthly AI progress reports, an automatic 90-day plan refresh, and a full gamification layer — backed by an AI Coach Chat they can message any time.
A human 1:1 coach is effective but doesn’t scale, and generic health apps ignore what a member is actually doing day to day. Vital Forge had to deliver genuinely personalised coaching — grounded in each member’s own check-in history — at scale, while staying safe: no diagnosis, mandatory medical disclaimers, and verified per-user data isolation under concurrent load.
- 01
Adaptive onboarding assessment
Members complete an adaptive 39-question assessment spanning five wellness dimensions — Nutrition, Movement, Sleep, Mental & Stress, and Vitality — that profiles where each person actually is rather than assuming a baseline.
- 02
Personalised AI plan generation
From that profile the platform generates a personalised AI coaching plan tailored to the individual, not a one-size-fits-all template.
- 03
Weekly WhatsApp check-ins
An automated WhatsApp check-in cycle keeps members engaged week to week, with streak and grace-day logic that rewards consistency without punishing a single missed day.
- 04
Monthly reports & 90-day refresh
Monthly AI-generated progress reports summarise how each member is tracking, and an automatic 90-day cycle refreshes the plan as their behavioural data evolves.
- 05
Always-on coaching & gamification
A persistent AI Coach Chat is available any time, while a gamification layer — points, streaks, 11 badge types, and a ranked leaderboard — drives long-term retention.
Data-grounded AI coaching
AI plan generation, contextual coaching chat, and monthly reports are all grounded in each member’s own check-in history — genuinely personal guidance, not generic health content.
Automated WhatsApp check-in cycle
A weekly check-in cycle runs over the WhatsApp Business API, with streak and grace-day logic to sustain engagement without discouraging members after one slip.
Full gamification system
Points, streaks, 11 badge types, and a ranked leaderboard turn ongoing health work into something members actively want to keep returning to.
Stripe subscriptions
Subscription billing runs through Stripe across three plan tiers, with a 14-day trial to convert new members.
15-module admin dashboard
A fully separate admin panel provides 15 modules for complete platform operations — with zero direct database access, so the team runs everything through controlled tooling.
Safety-first, HIPAA-aligned
Strict AI guardrails (no diagnosis, mandatory medical disclaimers) and verified per-user data isolation under concurrent load, with HIPAA-aligned data handling throughout.
Dual React + Vite frontends
Two independent React + Vite frontends — the member app and a fully separate admin panel — keep the member experience and platform operations cleanly isolated from each other.
FastAPI backend & AI service layer
A shared Python / FastAPI backend with a model-agnostic AI service layer powers plan generation, coaching chat, and reporting over a PostgreSQL database.
Billing & messaging integrations
Stripe handles three-tier subscriptions and trials, while the WhatsApp Business API drives the automated weekly check-in cycle.
