WearableQA is a new benchmark that tests AI systems on health reasoning using real-world wearable data from 200 users, each with up to 500 days of daily measurements. It contains 4,084 ten‑option multiple‑choice questions derived from wearable time series, blood biomarkers, and demographics, and is organized into 16 question types that distinguish data‑driven computation from physiological interpretation and single‑signal from cross‑signal reasoning. Evaluation of 14 large language models shows wide performance gaps, indicating that the benchmark remains challenging and useful for diagnosing model capabilities.
arXiv:2411. 15240v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Wearable movement data is collected by nearly all commercially available smartwatches and is a valuable resource for mental health research, reflecting fine-grained temporal behavioral trends.
Galvanic skin response (GSR) is widely used for stress detection, but wrist-based GSR remains challenging because its absolute amplitude can differ substantially from laboratory-grade palmar measurements. In this paper, we propose a unit-independent low-rate wrist GSR processing pipeline to extract the number of skin conductance responses per minute (nSCR/min) as a stress-related feature.

The paper proposes a transparent framework that links speech acoustic features—such as pitch variability, pauses, and speech tempo—to DSM‑5 indicators of depression, offering interpretable, indicator‑level outputs instead of opaque black‑box models. It runs locally on commodity hardware to preserve privacy and has been preliminarily evaluated on the DAIC‑WOZ dataset, showing consistent associations between acoustic cues and DSM‑5 indicators of psychomotor change and concentration difficulty. Future work aims to validate the approach on longitudinal data and expand multimodal integration while keeping edge constraints.
