Cylindrical Geodesic Flow Matching for Quasiperiodic Physiological Signal Transformation

The paper introduces cylindrical geodesic flow matching, a method for translating quasiperiodic cardiovascular waveforms between different body locations. By replacing the standard affine path in flow matching with a closed‑form geodesic on a phase–amplitude cylinder, the approach preserves amplitude and instantaneous frequency during interpolation. Experiments on photoplethysmography and seismocardiography data show that this geometry‑aware method outperforms interpolation baselines and matches or exceeds supervised models, reducing error metrics by up to ~15%.

Self-Supervised Cardiac Phase Detection via Single-Parameter Latent Orbits

The paper introduces a self‑supervised method for detecting end‑diastole (ED) and end‑systole (ES) in echocardiography by constraining the latent motion to a single‑parameter orbit, effectively modeling cardiac phase as a one‑dimensional signal. This approach yields an interpretable representation that directly identifies ED and ES, improving ED localisation and matching ES performance compared to prior state‑of‑the‑art methods, while using fewer training epochs and a more constrained model. The method is trained on EchoNet‑Dynamic without annotations and the code is publicly available.

BeatFlow-ECG: Rectified Flow for ECG Reconstruction from Indirect Wearable Signals

BeatFlow-ECG is a conditional rectified‑flow model that reconstructs single‑channel ECG signals from synchronized photoplethysmography (PPG) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data. The architecture uses a convolutional encoder‑decoder with a transformer bottleneck and explicit flow‑time conditioning, incorporating motion information through IMU‑derived features, motion‑dependent loss weighting, and a curriculum learning strategy. Evaluated on PPG‑DaLiA and WESAD datasets with leave‑one‑subject‑out protocols, BeatFlow‑ECG outperforms deterministic, adversarial, and diffusion‑based baselines, achieving Pearson correlations of 0.983–0.986 and R‑peak F1 scores of 0.946–0.955, while reducing L1 error compared to Conditional DDPM‑1D.

Physics-Constrained Deep Learning Model for Contactless Blood Pressure Monitoring from Triaxial Bodyseismography

The paper introduces Phy‑BP, a physics‑constrained deep learning framework for contactless blood pressure monitoring using triaxial bodyseismography (BSG). It employs an adaptive quality‑control algorithm to select cardiogenic‑rich BSG segments and embeds a 3‑D wave‑propagation physical model into the neural network to align multi‑axis features, enhancing robustness to real‑world distortions. Experiments on a 162‑hour hospital dataset from 21 subjects demonstrate that Phy‑BP can filter low‑quality measurements and maintain accurate BP estimation even with limited training data.

AF-Mamba: Efficient Long-Term Signal Modeling for Early Prediction of Atrial Fibrillation Onset

AF-Mamba is a deep learning model that predicts atrial fibrillation (AF) onset one hour in advance using long‑term RR intervals. It combines temporal convolutional networks for local feature extraction with Mamba, a state‑space model for long‑range sequence modeling, achieving high sensitivity (0.889) and specificity (0.943) in subject‑wise testing. The model maintains strong performance across unseen datasets, offering a favorable trade‑off between predictive accuracy and computational efficiency for real‑time ambulatory monitoring.

SOTER: A Generative Time-Series Foundation Model for Wearable Human Physiological Signals

SOTER is a generative foundation model designed for wearable physiological time‑series data. It integrates cross‑channel coupling, spectrum‑guided expert specialization, and continuous‑time latent evolution, using a spatial feature‑aware backbone, a PSD‑guided mixture‑of‑experts layer, and a neural controlled differential equation decoder. Trained on 226 billion time points from five public datasets, SOTER outperforms baselines in zero‑shot forecasting, classification, and imputation across six benchmarks, and remains robust to additive noise.
