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.

Single-Beat Cuffless Blood Pressure Estimation Using Ear-PPG and ECG with a Lightweight Hybrid Learning Framework

arXiv:2607. 27076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuous cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitoring remains challenging due to motion artifacts, physiological variability, and the limited robustness of conventional pulse transit time (PTT) models under dynamic conditions.

CardioFusion-AI: Robust ECG--PPG Fusion for Multimodal Physiological Monitoring Under Signal Degradation

CardioFusion-AI is a framework for robust fusion of ECG and PPG signals in wearable physiological monitoring. Its signal‑processing front end, featuring R‑peak and systolic‑peak detection, an Orphanidou‑type signal‑quality index, and beat‑by‑beat pulse transit time estimation, was validated on 53 intensive‑care recordings and a fetal ECG database. In a controlled synthetic degradation study, attention fusion achieved the lowest overall error, while adaptive gates reallocated weight toward the healthy modality under complete loss, and signal‑quality conditioning improved performance when PPG was missing.

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%.

Automated ECG Interval Measurement and Wave Delineation Using Fast Fourier Convolution ResNet

arXiv:2608. 00058v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate measurement of ECG intervals, including PR, QRS duration, and QT/QTc, is central to cardiac diagnosis, yet the published ECG delineation literature evaluates performance almost exclusively as fiducial-point timing errors on small curated databases, rather than as clinical interval accuracy on large unselected cohorts.

Robust Photoplethysmography Signal Denoising via Mamba Networks

The paper introduces DPNet, a Mamba-based deep learning framework for denoising photoplethysmography (PPG) signals while preserving physiological information. It incorporates a scale‑invariant signal‑to‑distortion ratio loss and an auxiliary heart‑rate predictor to enhance waveform fidelity and maintain heart‑rate accuracy. Experiments on the BIDMC dataset show that DPNet outperforms conventional filtering and existing neural models in robustness against synthetic noise and real‑world motion artifacts, making it suitable for wearable healthcare systems.
