Talking to Your Data: Exploring Embodied Conversation as an Interface for Personal Health Reflection
arXiv:2606.17767v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Personal health data from wearables are typically presented through dashboards of charts and summary statistics, requiring users to actively interpret patterns and implications. We explore an alternative interaction paradigm: engaging with personal health data through an embodied conversational agent that facilitates objective data reflection in dialogue with the user. We present a system that combines lightweight preprocessing of wearable data with a Unity-based embodied character. Internally, the system follows a dual-agent design in which an
Advances in AI, particularly Large Language Models, enable more sophisticated and natural conversational interfaces, making embodied agents for data interaction increasingly viable.
This development proposes a more intuitive and engaging interface for personal health data, potentially improving user adherence to health regimens and data-driven insights.
The paradigm for interacting with personal health data could shift from passive dashboard interpretation to active, conversational engagement with an AI agent.

- · Traditional dashboard-centric health apps
- · Companies reliant on complex data interpretation by users
Users gain a more personalized and proactive understanding of their health data.
Increased user engagement with personal health data could lead to better health outcomes and preventative care.
The success of this approach could drive wider adoption of embodied AI agents across other personal data domains, such as finance or productivity.
