Existing medical video benchmarks primarily evaluate whether a model produces the correct answer, but rarely assess whether it answers at the right time. In real clinical settings, AI systems must decide not only what to predict, but also when to answer, defer judgment, or proactively raise alerts. This creates a critical gap between benchmark evaluation and deployment requirements. We present MedStreamBench, a benchmark for time-aware medical video understanding. MedStreamBench integrates 22 medical datasets and 5,419 QA instances across four temporal settings: retrospective, present, future, and proactive. Unlike conventional benchmarks that assume full-video access, MedStreamBench restricts models to temporally bounded evidence windows and supports both single-turn and streaming evaluation. We further introduce a proactive monitoring setting that requires models to determine whether and when clinically relevant alerts should be triggered. Beyond answer correctness, MedStreamBench evaluates temporal behavior through responsiveness and post-evidence stability. Experiments on leading general-purpose and medical vision-language models reveal a substantial gap between offline recognition and temporally grounded decision-making, with performance dropping markedly in streaming and proactive settings.

A central role of personal-agent memory is to turn stored information and prior interactions into future-oriented assistance. In daily use, useful cues come from what the agent observes and how the user interacts with the agent, and the agent must carry them forward from the current request to similar future tasks. Existing memory benchmarks usually test dialogue recall or task improvement in isolation, leaving the trajectory from streaming observations to later assistance largely untested. We introduce StreamMemBench, a streaming benchmark that constructs a two-step task sequence around each evidence anchor from EgoLife egocentric streams. The initial task tests evidence use, while the follow-up task tests whether feedback and interaction experience are reused. Four metrics diagnose evidence recall, initial evidence use, feedback incorporation, and follow-up reuse. Experiments with eight memory systems across two backbones show that current systems often fail to use observed evidence or turn feedback into reliable follow-up behavior, even when evidence is stored or feedback is incorporated locally.
