Engagements with Generative AI and Personal Health Informatics: Opportunities for Planning, Tracking, Reflecting, and Acting around Personal Health Data.
Article in Proceedings of the ACM on interactive, mobile, wearable and ubiquitous technologies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Personal informatics processes require navigating distinct challenges across stages of tracking, but the range of data, goals, expertise, and context that individuals bring to self-tracking often presents barriers that undermine those processes. We investigate the potential of Generative AI (GAI) to support people across stages of pursuing self-tracking for health. We conducted interview and observation sessions with 19 participants from the United States who self-track for health, examining how they interact with GAI around their personal health data. Participants formulated and refined queries, reflected on recommendations, and abandoned queries that did not meet their needs and health goals. They further identified opportunities for GAI support across stages of self-tracking, including in deciding what data to track and how, in defining and modifying tracking plans, and in interpreting data-driven insights. We discuss GAI opportunities in accounting for a range of health goals, in providing support for self-tracking processes across planning, reflection, and action, and in consideration of limitations of embedding GAI in health self-tracking tools.
