For e.g. if the data says you're likely coming down with a virus what is the treatment?
For me specifically, as somebody who suffers from occasional severe depression, knowing that I am actually physically run down rather than mentally run down is a big help as to deciding what to do next. I just an added bit of data that helps me understand what is going on. Garmin also has quite usable stress metrics that have allowed me to spot when I'm not looking after myself as well as I should.
On a very basic level, if I can see my resting HR has been 10bpm higher than usual for a few days, I know something is up. Maybe not what is up, but it gives me a nudge.

Cheers all. Sports I got, it's more the everyday wear I didn't get.
The follow up question is whether armed with this information you then change your behaviour?

I think part of the reason I find this side of it interesting is spending a bit of time being bombarded with tests in the US where it often wasn't clear what the change in the treatment path would be post results.
