Deep learning-based detection of cessation of breathing in pre-term infants

Apnoea of prematurity is characterised by recurrent episodes of cessation of breathing and remains difficult to detect reliably using routinely monitored physiological signals in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Existing bedside monitors rely primarily on respiratory rate and oxygen saturation thresholds, often generating high false-positive alarm rates and missing short or irregular events.

State-Specific Respiratory Signatures for Affective and Stress Recognition: Interpretable Respiratory Markers, Autocorrelation Lags, and Compact CNN Models

arXiv:2606. 26723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Respiratory activity is a direct and interpretable physiological channel for wearable stress and affective-state recognition, yet many studies emphasize classification accuracy without identifying which respiratory properties separate different states.

Learning transferable human physiology from two million hours of sleep with SleepFM-2

SleepFM-2 is a foundation model trained on 282,511 polysomnography recordings, covering over two million hours of multimodal sleep physiology. It outperforms its predecessor in disease prediction, sleep scoring, and event detection, and its representation improves performance across diverse tasks—including wearable sensing, subjective sleep reports, and transfer to other EEG modalities. When combined with age, sex, and BMI, the model meets stringent discrimination criteria for 215 EHR phenotypes, adding reproducible information beyond demographics for 155 of them.

BCG-FM: A Foundation Model for Ambient Cardiac Health Sensing

arXiv:2606. 07692v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models for wearable biosignals have matched or exceeded supervised specialists across a range of clinical tasks, yet all rely on modalities that require deliberate user action--wearing a device or visiting a sleep lab.

NanoSleep: A Parameter-Efficient Hybrid Temporal Convolutional Network for Single-Channel Sleep Stage Classification

NanoSleep is a compact hybrid temporal convolutional network designed for single‑channel EEG sleep stage classification. It integrates a learnable Sinc‑convolutional front end, dual‑branch feature extraction for multi‑scale temporal and spectral representations, a gated dilated temporal convolutional backbone with channel recalibration, and a conditional random field for sequence‑level decoding. Evaluated on Sleep‑EDF and Sleep‑EDF‑Expanded datasets, NanoSleep consistently outperforms six baseline methods and demonstrates that each major component contributes to its performance.
