The paper investigates on-device language models (ODLMs) for predicting stress in a mobile health context, focusing on privacy-preserving, cloud-independent inference. Using zero‑shot prompting, the authors evaluate ODLMs across multimodal data—objective sensor features and subjective self‑reports—measuring predictive accuracy, latency, and throughput. Results indicate that sensor features slightly outperform self‑reports, and that lightweight sub‑2B models deliver low latency with predictable resource usage, underscoring both the potential and practical limits of ODLMs for mobile mental health.

The paper introduces a Concept-Integrated Transformer (CIT) that uses a pretrained large language model to generate concept abnormality targets with confidence weights, eliminating the need for manual concept annotation. CIT is applied to mobile sensing data from two longitudinal datasets, achieving the highest F1 score on the AFFECT dataset (0.756) and tying for the highest on a PHQ-9 dataset (0.765). The model’s learned concept scores reveal interpretable behavioral and physiological patterns, such as differences in sleep quantity and quality between high and low negative affect groups.

Wearable and mobile sensing technologies have demonstrated strong potential for health inference; however, most sensor models are designed for specific disease types, limiting their transferability across different health risks. Wearable foundation models offer a more generalizable approach in diverse health risk types.
The paper introduces VoxPrivacy, a benchmark for assessing interactional privacy in Speech Language Models (SLMs). It evaluates models on a 32‑hour bilingual dataset across three difficulty tiers, revealing that most open‑source SLMs perform near random on conditional privacy decisions and even strong closed‑source systems struggle with proactive privacy inference. The authors also validate these findings on a real‑speech subset and show that fine‑tuning on a 4,000‑hour training set can improve privacy‑preserving capabilities while maintaining robustness.
