arXiv:2607. 09749v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models have recently emerged as a powerful paradigm for learning transferable representations from large scale biomedical data, yet existing approaches for physiological waveforms primarily optimize reconstruction or forecasting objectives that do not explicitly preserve clinically meaningful waveform morphology.
arXiv:2603. 08505v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Electrocardiography (ECG) is a low-cost, widely used modality for diagnosing electrical abnormalities like atrial fibrillation by capturing the heart's electrical activity.
arXiv:2608. 12944v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electrocardiography (ECG), photoplethysmography (PPG), and phonocardiography (PCG) provide complementary views of the same cardiac cycle, yet existing cardiac foundation models are trained for a single sensing modality, leaving the shared physiology across sensors unexploited.
arXiv:2607. 01145v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Data analysis in the medical domain often encounters scenarios involving a limited target dataset and a large, unannotated dataset with a general distribution.

arXiv:2607. 23412v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are widely used for cardiovascular risk prediction, yet models often fail to transfer across hospitals because of protocol, population, and measurement differences.
arXiv:2608. 12695v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-supervised electrocardiogram (ECG) models are often trained on a few seconds of ECG signal and, increasingly, on discretized token sequences.
The paper presents a hybrid CNN–state‑space–attention backbone designed for 12‑lead ECG classification, combining early waveform tokenization, mixed temporal dynamics modeling, and late global attention. It introduces an ECG‑oriented Joint‑Embedding Predictive Pretraining (JEPA) that samples span masks at latent resolution and predicts clean latent targets via a momentum encoder, avoiding waveform reconstruction. Experiments on CPSC2018, Chapman‑Shaoxing, and PTB‑XL, with pretraining on ~350K unlabeled CODE‑15 recordings, demonstrate strong supervised baselines and improved transfer, especially in low‑label scenarios and with LoRA adaptation.
BEAT-Net is a supervised biomimetic framework for ECG diagnosis that incorporates QRS-centered tokenization and a hierarchical architecture mirroring a cardiologist’s workflow. It processes heartbeat sequences through morphological, spatial, temporal, and transformer-based stages, achieving an AUC of 0.924 on large benchmarks while using only 0.7 million parameters. The model outperforms the 39.5‑million‑parameter HeartLang foundation model on morphological form classification and demonstrates superior cross‑dataset generalization with only 35% of the training data.

arXiv:2607. 22264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive foundation models trained on tokenized electronic health records (EHRs) can support zero-shot clinical prediction, yet most operate on structured event codes alone, and do not incorporate multiple modalities in a principled way.
