arXiv:2607. 06954v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Wearable and mobile sensing technologies have demonstrated strong potential for health inference; however, most sensor models are designed for specific disease types, limiting their transferability across different health risks.
arXiv:2608. 13316v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models (FMs) trained on large-scale accelerometer data have been proposed as general-purpose feature extractors for health monitoring, but systematic evidence of their advantages is lacking.
Wearable and mobile sensing technologies have demonstrated strong potential for health inference; however, most sensor models are designed for specific disease types, limiting their transferability across different health risks. Wearable foundation models offer a more generalizable approach in diverse health risk types.
arXiv:2607. 09402v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning models dependency on large-scale inertial datasets presents a significant bottleneck in inertial sensor-based classification tasks, such as human activity recognition and smartphone location recognition.
arXiv:2607. 09780v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The modern-day surge in popularity of wearable devices poses a fundamentally unique motion capture problem: reconstructing full-body movement from any set of sensing hardware worn at a given moment.
Falls are a major health concern for older adults, and wearable sensors have been widely explored for detecting falls and enabling timely intervention. However, real-world falls are extremely rare: collecting 100 of them requires an estimated 100,000 days of monitoring, resulting in severely limited labelled data for training machine learning models.
