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.

SIFPBPNet is a dual‑path neural network designed for cuffless blood‑pressure estimation from photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. It separates steady‑state and instantaneous features through a Steady‑state Feature Path (SFP) that uses a Graph Attention Network to learn individual‑specific long‑term patterns, and an Instantaneous Feature Path (IFP) that captures short‑term dynamics and fuses them with the steady‑state prior via cross‑attention. On a large wearable dataset, the model achieves mean absolute errors of 8.57 mmHg for systolic and 5.97 mmHg for diastolic BP, outperforming existing methods and showing that the SFP module can be added to other backbones for 2.8–13.1 % MAE reduction.

The study investigates how adding ballistocardiography (BCG) signals to photoplethysmography (PPG) and arterial pressure wave (APW) signals affects the estimation of cardiovascular biomarkers. Using a unified whole‑body cardiovascular model, synthetic PPG, APW, and BCG signals were generated and analyzed with neural posterior estimation and simulation‑based inference. Results show that incorporating BCG significantly improves estimation accuracy, converting multimodal posterior distributions from PPG/APW alone into unimodal distributions, thereby enhancing the reliability of cardiovascular biomarker estimation.

arXiv:2607. 05009v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Complete digital 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) are essential for AI-enabled cardiovascular assessment, yet many clinical ECG records, particularly those digitized from ECG images, remain incomplete because of short display formats, incomplete waveform digitization, lead loss, or signal corruption.

The paper presents a hybrid Transformer framework that estimates non‑invasive continuous blood pressure from ECG/PPG‑derived feature sequences. It models 10‑step sequences of six physiological descriptors and two demographic covariates, combining Transformer, Kolmogorov‑Arnold Network, and XGBoost modules, and uses a dynamic fusion decoder to predict diastolic and systolic BP. On a large MIMIC‑III dataset, the model achieved mean errors of 0.41 mmHg (diastolic) and –1.60 mmHg (systolic) with high accuracy within 10 mmHg for most predictions.
