Will personal health assistants become the next layer over wearables?

Reddit r/singularity News

Summary

The article proposes that personal health assistants powered by AI could become the next layer over wearable devices, helping users understand their health data and run personalized experiments, while addressing challenges of trust, privacy, and accuracy.

Wearables are collecting more health data about you every second from sleep, HRV, workouts, heart rate, temperature, recovery, activity, etc. But most of the experience is still dashboards, charts, and scores and honestly feels bloated. I think the next layer could be personal health assistants that explain the data in plain language, remember patterns over time, and help people run personal experiments like: “Does magnesium improve my sleep?” “Does caffeine affect my HRV?” “Do harder workouts hurt my recovery?” “Why was my sleep worse this week?” The hard part is trust, privacy, hallucinations, not giving medical advice, and explaining uncertainty clearly. Curious what people here think about will this become a real category, or will it just become a feature inside Apple Health / Google Fit / wearable apps?
