AI to Improve the Hotel Spa End User Journey

The best way to come to grips with artificial intelligence (AI) for spa and wellness is through the phrase ‘technology-adjacent therapies’.

If you would have asked us a year ago whether or not a robotic massage would work at a hotel wellness center, our answer would have been, “Only rarely.” Our judgment didn’t completely rule out these automated treatment tables from the welltech conversation, but we firmly believed that a great massage is achieved from both the physical pressure on muscles in combination with the psychological restoration that comes from the patient-therapist relationship.
