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.

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.
