From Stress to Affect: Multimodal Deep Learning for Physiological Emotion Recognition Across Wearable Sensor Modalities

The study compares temporal deep learning models—Bidirectional LSTM, Temporal Convolutional Network, and Transformer—for physiological emotion recognition using two multimodal wearable datasets, WESAD and EmoWear. Experiments evaluate wrist-only, chest-only, and multimodal sensor configurations with participant-independent leave-one-subject-out cross-validation, and also explore ensembles, sensor ablation, sampling frequency, and saliency analysis. Results show that the best architecture varies by dataset, multimodal sensing consistently outperforms single-site configurations, and a 4 Hz sampling rate offers a cost-effective operating point.

Learning Human Health and Diseases from 24-hour Wrist Movement

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.
