A Task-Oriented Multi-Agent Framework for Complex Wearable Health Analysis

Authors: Kunpeng Yang

Abstract

Wearable health questions often combine data retrieval, longitudinal analysis, and health advice over structured records. Prompting a single large language model with a complete record and a composite query obscures whether every request is executed and which evidence supports the answer. We propose a task-oriented multi-agent framework that represents a composite query as distinct intents and typed tasks with explicit intra-intent dependencies. Specialized agents execute retrieval, analysis, and advice tasks; isolated intent states preserve request boundaries and evidence relationships before aggregation. We evaluate the framework on a synthetic dataset of 10,00010{,}000 virtual users with one month of longitudinal wearable records, covering structured data retrieval, multi-intent recognition, and overall response quality. Across 1,5001{,}500 retrieval questions, the Query Agent achieves 98.3%98.3\% accuracy, compared with 97.9%97.9\% for the Direct LLM baseline, while reducing average query-stage token consumption from 6,8696{,}869 to 3,1363{,}136. On 180180 multi-intent questions, the Manager Agent achieves 100.0%100.0\% Multi-Intent Coverage and 94.4%94.4\% Multiset Jaccard Similarity. Under the current synthetic evaluation setting, our method receives higher mean Trustworthiness and Transparency scores on both question categories, whereas Actionability does not improve consistently. These results provide preliminary evidence that explicit task organization can support task-relevant data access and data-grounded longitudinal analysis, while leaving health advice generation and validation on real wearable data as open challenges.

WEQA: Wearable hEalth Question Answering with Query-Adaptive Agentic Reasoning

Language models are remarkably capable at medical question answering, in some cases surpassing the accuracy of general physicians. However, answering questions about wearable health data remains challenging and understudied, as these ubiquitous sensors produce continuous, high-dimensional, and longitudinal data, which is non-trivial to align with text-centric distributions in LLM pretraining. The diversity of sensor modalities and user intents cannot be effectively handled by a fixed reasoning workflow or a single pretrained foundation model. To address these challenges, we propose WEQA, a query-adaptive agent framework that unifies LLM reasoning with specialized wearable analytical and modeling tools. An LLM controller is employed to synthesize execution plans and dynamically route each query to the appropriate combination of sensor analysis and pretrained models, and perform grounded response auditing with external knowledge. We also curate a benchmark spanning four open wearable datasets comprising analytic and predictive tasks in three different health domains. Experiments show that our framework is 24% more accurate than LLM and agentic baselines, and a blinded study with 12 medical experts and 8 users shows substantial gains in usefulness and clinical soundness.

LifeAgentBench: Benchmarking LLMs for Long-Horizon, Cross-Dimensional Lifestyle Health Reasoning

Personalized lifestyle health analysis requires long-horizon, multi-dimensional reasoning over heterogeneous lifestyle signals, and recent advances in mobile sensing and large language models (LLMs) make such support increasingly feasible. However, the capabilities of current LLMs in this setting remain insufficiently understood due to the lack of systematic benchmarks. In this paper, we introduce LifeAgentBench, a large-scale QA benchmark for long-horizon, cross-dimensional, and multi-user lifestyle health reasoning, containing 22,573 questions spanning from basic retrieval to complex reasoning. We release an extensible benchmark construction pipeline and a standardized evaluation protocol, deriving verifiable answers through executable queries and programs to support reliable assessment. We then systematically evaluate 13 representative LLMs on LifeAgentBench and identify key bottlenecks in long-horizon aggregation and cross-dimensional reasoning. Motivated by these findings, we propose LifeAgent, a tool-augmented reasoning baseline that decomposes complex queries, performs multi-step evidence retrieval, and invokes tools for deterministic aggregation. LifeAgent substantially enhances LLMs' capabilities on challenging reasoning tasks, achieving clear improvements over widely used baselines and showing potential for health reasoning in everyday scenarios. The benchmark is publicly available.

HiMe: Real-Time Self-Hosted Personal Agent Platform for Health Insights with Wearable Devices

Traditional approaches to wearable health signal analysis, such as smartwatches, are constrained by rigid analytical frameworks and limited personalisation. The emergence of LLM agents creates a new opportunity for Personal Health Agentic Analysis, where health insights can be generated adaptively and in context. However, currently there is no open-source locally deployable platform capable of processing personal health data in real time while preserving privacy. We present HiMe, a locally deployable, privacy-first agent platform that is fully compatible with real-time health data ecosystems across a wide range of wearable devices. HiMe is guided by three design principles. The database is treated as a first-class component. Effectiveness and efficiency are jointly optimised to achieve a low-cost Pareto-optimal balance. Data are processed in real time while the user is modelled over the long term. Together, these principles make it practical for individuals to harness Personal Health Agents for continuous, personalised health monitoring for better wellbeing.
