Abstract
The rise of digital health technologies has provided individuals with unprecedented access to biometric data and health insights. However, excess monitoring may contribute to fatigue, anxiety, and information overload, sometimes reducing engagement and worsening outcomes. This article explores how artificial intelligence-enabled assistants might help address this challenge by filtering, contextualizing, and personalizing health information, potentially supporting informed self-management while mitigating some unintended harms of digital health technologies.
