Physics-Constrained Deep Learning Model for Contactless Blood Pressure Monitoring from Triaxial Bodyseismography

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.

A Multidimensional Data-Driven Hybrid Transformer Framework for Non-invasive Continuous Blood Pressure Prediction

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.

SIFPBPNet: A Dual-Path Network for Wearable and Cuffless Blood Pressure Estimation via Individualized Steady-state Representation

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.

A Hybrid Predictive Ensemble of Machine Learning and Deep Neural Networks for Early Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment

The paper presents a hybrid predictive ensemble that merges machine learning and deep neural network techniques to detect and prognosticate cardiovascular disease early. It processes real‑time physiological data from IoMT devices, applying preprocessing, feature selection, and optimized classifiers (SVM, Random Forest, XGBoost) within an ensemble architecture. The cloud‑based system achieves higher accuracy, fewer false positives, and consistent performance on real‑world datasets, supporting continuous patient monitoring and clinical decision support.

MorphologyFM: A Foundation Model for Morphology-Aware Representation Learning from ECG and Pulse Oximetry Waveforms

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.
