Researchers have developed a novel interface for personal health data reflection that utilizes an embodied conversational agent. This system, combining data preprocessing with a Unity-based character, employs a dual-agent design where one agent extracts statistics and trends, and another communicates these findings as "spoken statistics" without offering clinical advice. A user study with five participants indicated that this embodied conversational approach may enhance understanding and encourage more active sensemaking compared to traditional data dashboards. AI
IMPACT This research explores a new interaction paradigm for personal health data, potentially shifting user engagement from passive viewing to active sensemaking through embodied AI.
