New benchmarks assess LLM reasoning over real-world wearable health data · 2 sources tracked

Researchers have developed two new benchmarks, HealthLoopQA and WearableQA, designed to evaluate the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) in interpreting complex, longitudinal health data from wearable devices. HealthLoopQA focuses on diabetes care, incorporating a taxonomy of eleven reasoning abilities and a simulation testbed for device malfunctions and cyber-physical attacks. WearableQA, on the other hand, uses real-world data from 200 users over 500 days, featuring 4,084 multiple-choice questions across 16 types to assess data versus health reasoning and single- versus cross-signal interpretation. Both benchmarks reveal significant limitations in current LLMs for long-horizon medical reasoning and highlight issues like 'In-context Laziness' under long-context prompting. AI

IMPACT These benchmarks will drive the development of LLMs capable of more accurate and reliable long-term health reasoning from wearable data.
