From Wearable Data to Personalized and Actionable Health Insights
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.03251v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Commercial wearable devices continuously capture rich physiological data (e.g., heart rate, respiration), opening new possibilities for monitoring health conditions, notably around stress. Despite their promise, turning raw wearable physiological data streams into visualizations that surface stress-related insights in daily activities, and that ultimately foster reflection, awareness, and better stress management, remains a significant challenge. The data are noisy and context-dependent: the same spike in heart rate can come from sprinting, a t
