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.

Physically-Constrained Harmonic Separation for Robust Heart and Respiratory Rate Estimation from Wrist Photoplethysmography

Wrist-worn photoplethysmography (PPG) enables continuous monitoring of cardiopulmonary physiology, but reliable heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) estimation in free-living conditions remains challenging due to non-stationary motion artifacts that spectrally overlap with physiological dynamics. Existing signal-processing methods degrade under strong motion, while unconstrained deep learning approaches often lack physiological interpretability and identifiable structure.

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.

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.

CogAdapt: Adapting Clinical ECG Foundation Models for Wearable Cognitive Load Assessment

arXiv:2605. 22774v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Assessing cognitive load continuously and at low latency would help adaptive human-computer interaction, but it remains hard because labeled data are scarce and models generalize poorly across subjects.

Inertia-1: An Open Exploration of Wearable Motion Foundation Models

arXiv:2607. 06617v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wearable motion sensing provides a continuous and scalable window into human behavior and health, making it a natural fit for foundation models, yet its pretraining and scaling principles remain poorly understood.
