This is not remotely surprising.

Look, AI Healthbros, I'll tell you quite clearly what I want from your statistical pattern analyzers, and you don't even have to pay me for the idea (though I wouldn't say no to a home or Enterprise IT gig at your startup):

I want an AI/ML tool to not merely analyze my medical info (ON DEVICE, no cloud sharing kthx), but also extrapolate patterns involving weather, location, screen time, and other "non-health" data.

Do I record taking tylenol when the barometric pressure drops? Start alerting me ahead of time so I can try to avoid a headache.

Does my screen time correlate to immediately decreased sleep scores? Send me a push notification or webhook I can act upon/script off of, like locking me out of my device for the night or dimming my lights.

Am I recording higher-intensity workouts in colder temperatures or inclement weather? Start tracking those metrics and maybe keep better track of balance readings during those events for improved mobility issue detection.

Got an app where I track cannabis use or alcohol consumption? Tie that to my mental health journal or biological readings to identify red flags or concerns about misuse.

Stop trying to replace people like my medical care team, and instead equip them with better insights and datasets they can more quickly act upon. "Subject has been reporting more negative moods in his mental health journal, an uptick in alcohol consumption above his baseline, and inconsistent cannabis use compared to prior patterns" equips the care team with a quick, verifiable blurb from larger datasets that can accelerate care and improve patient outcomes - without the hallucinations of generative AI.
