The paper introduces a new evaluation protocol for deep multivariate imputation models on wearable device data, addressing the issue of structured missingness where sensor features drop out together. Using a Garmin smartwatch dataset from an epilepsy patient, the authors generate realistic block-missing patterns from training data and show that matching the training protocol to this distribution reduces BRITS’ mean absolute error by 43%. They also extend BRITS with time‑of‑day encoding and compare it to linear interpolation and SAITS, finding that no single model dominates and that model rankings vary with evaluation design.

The study introduces TRACER, a Transformer-based model that uses contrastive event representation to predict timelines leading to heart failure hospitalizations from low-resolution, irregularly sampled telemonitoring data. TRACER incorporates time-aware embeddings, contrastive pre‑training for anomaly detection, and independent binary classifiers, and was evaluated on biomarker sequences from 276 heart failure patients. The model achieved 66.7% accuracy in predicting hospitalization timelines with a 7.9% overestimation, outperforming other tested models by reformulating training as an event detection problem.

arXiv:2606. 06328v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In healthcare, multimodal time series tasks often operate on incomplete observations in practice, for example when ECG segments are lost because electrodes detach or an entire respiratory channel is unavailable during overnight monitoring.
