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.

The paper introduces Sensori, a self‑supervised foundation model that learns health representations from 24‑hour raw tri‑axial wrist movement data. Trained on 122,640 participants across the UK, China, and the US, Sensori captures diverse movement behaviours, demographics, health axes, and physical function. In independent cohorts, the model improved disease classification for 52 of 102 conditions and incident disease risk prediction for 26 of 87 conditions, especially for neurological and psychiatric disorders.

arXiv:2606. 04798v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sensor-based Human Activity Recognition (HAR) models often degrade on unseen users due to domain shifts caused by individual movement patterns and sensor placement.
By Maximilian Burzer, Till Riedel, Michael Beigl, Tobias R\"oddiger
Human Activity Recognition (HAR) from wearable sensors supports applications in healthcare, rehabilitation, fitness tracking, and smart environments. Yet, existing deep learning approaches require dataset-specific training, large labeled corpora, and repeated adaptation to new sensor settings or activity taxonomies.
arXiv:2411. 15240v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Wearable movement data is collected by nearly all commercially available smartwatches and is a valuable resource for mental health research, reflecting fine-grained temporal behavioral trends.

The paper investigates the use of Zero Cost Proxies (ZCPs) to identify high‑performing wearable Human Activity Recognition (HAR) models without full training. Eight ZCPs were evaluated across six benchmark HAR datasets, showing that the top‑predicted architectures achieve performance within 7% of fully trained models, and training the top‑10 predictions reaches within 2% of full training. This demonstrates that ZCPs can significantly reduce computational costs while maintaining competitive accuracy in sensor‑based HAR tasks.
