Pre-term infants are susceptible to potentially harmful apnoea-related cessations of breathing due to immature respiratory control. However, reliable respiratory monitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) remains challenging because motion artefacts, sensor displacement, and skin fragility can compromise contact-based measurements.
arXiv:2608. 06122v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inspired by recent evidence that transformer architectures benefit from Self-PreTraining (SPT) on long-context benchmarks, we investigate whether similar gains extend to multimodal, multivariate, and even simple univariate medical time series.

Wound3DAssist is a practical framework that creates 3D wound models from short handheld videos taken with consumer‑grade devices, enabling non‑contact, automatic measurements of wound surfaces. The system integrates 3D reconstruction, wound segmentation, tissue classification, and periwound analysis into a modular workflow. Evaluations on digital models, silicone phantoms, and real patients show millimeter‑scale reconstruction accuracy and multi‑view tissue composition analysis, with full assessments completed in under 20 minutes.

VideoPulse is a neonatal dataset and end‑to‑end pipeline that estimates heart rate and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) from facial video without contact. The dataset contains 157 recordings from 52 neonates, and the pipeline uses face alignment, artifact‑aware supervision, and 3D CNN backbones to produce predictions every 2 seconds. On the NBHR dataset the model achieves a heart‑rate MAE of 2.97 bpm and SpO2 MAE of 1.69 %.
"whyItMatters":"The results show that short, unaligned neonatal video segments can accurately estimate vital signs, offering a low‑cost, non‑invasive monitoring option for neonatal intensive care."
