PPG-Bench: A Unified Benchmark for PPG Foundation Models

PPG-Bench is an open‑source benchmark that evaluates five publicly available photoplethysmography (PPG) foundation models across nine datasets and 26 tasks, covering cardiovascular state estimation, activity, sleep, screening, and identification. The benchmark tests models under four downstream regimes—linear probing, random forests, frozen MLP probes, and end‑to‑end finetuning—while also comparing them to three controls: a random/constant baseline, a deterministic pulse‑rate‑variability feature set, and a generic time‑series foundation model (MOMENT). Results show that over a third of task‑regime combinations yield no advantage for any PPG foundation model over the baseline, and in most cases no PPG‑specific model outperforms the simple controls, indicating that current PPG foundation models lack generalised, transferable representations.

Rethinking PPG-based Sleep Staging: Datasets, Metrics, and Benchmarks

arXiv:2608. 00943v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated sleep staging assigns discrete stage labels to successive time epochs throughout an overnight recording; conventionally each window spans at least 30 seconds, reflecting the minimum temporal resolution of the clinical scoring standard.

Aortic Valve Disease Screening from PPG via Physiology-Guided Self-Supervised Learning

arXiv:2602. 04266v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Aortic valve disease (AVD) represents a major public health burden, while its diagnosis relies on echocardiography, which is limited by cost and specialist expertise, restricting scalable screening and risk stratification.
