Abstract
mHealth apps and tracking technology are becoming popular because they help people adopt a healthier lifestyle and form healthy habits. One way mHealth apps can help users is by presenting visuals to help them better understand their health data. Commendable efforts have been carried out to personalize health-promoting interventions to help users become more aware of their own health, and health practitioners for providing healthcare services. For example, digital self-tracking apps nowadays can be used to monitor physical activity, nutrition and sleep patterns. This systematic review aims to investigate the current trends, challenges, gaps, and opportunities in health visualizations on mobile devices. Peer-reviewed papers in English collected using online databases (ACM Digital Library, PubMed, and Web of Science) from 2012 to 2022 were considered, and 56 studies were selected out of 1,168 studies. Results showed that among 11 different health domains, general health and physical health were the most heavily studied. Relatedly, results also showed that physical fitness data is the most frequently collected data type automatically from sensors/trackers. Furthermore, bar and line charts are the most popular type of visualizations used for presenting a variety of health data, and while most apps present static visualizations, interactive visualizations, as well as a combination of both static and interactive visualizations, are becoming more common. Based on our results, we offer recommendations for future research as designers and researchers continue to improve the presentation of data visualizations in mHealth apps.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
