1. A method of providing health information, using an electronic device with a display device and one or more processors, comprising:
displaying, based on a request from a user, a home screen of a user interface through the display device;
receiving data from at least one of a sensor included in the electronic device, an application installed on the electronic device, or another electronic device;
assessing a health status of a user based on the received data, the health status being related to at least one health index of a plurality of health indices;
displaying a virtual avatar that responds to the health status of the user on the home screen;
determining a plurality of visualization priorities for the respective plurality of health indices based on at least one of health risk degree, user's preference, or possibility of improvement, wherein determining each visualization priority of the plurality of visualization priorities comprises:
obtaining a value by a product of a value inversely proportional to the health risk degree, a value inversely proportional to the user's preference, and a value inversely proportional to the possibility of improvement;
selecting at least one health index of the plurality of health indices based on the plurality of visualization priorities;
determining a visualization method for the selected health index prompting notification to the user based on the assessed health status for the selected health index,
wherein the determining the visualization method comprises determining one or more marks belonging to the virtual avatar and one or more channels for visualizing the one or more marks based on at least one of a data type or a domain of each item of the received data, and
wherein the visualization method comprises at least one of changing a color of a first mark belonging to the virtual avatar, changing at least one of a size and shape of a second mark, changing at least one of a color and a number of third marks, or changing a size or movement of a fourth mark;
modifying an appearance of the virtual avatar based on the determined visualization method; and
detecting a user's action through data collected by a camera or the sensor and changing, simultaneous with the modification of the appearance of the virtual avatar based on the determined visualization method, an action of the virtual avatar in response to the detected user action.
