Learning to Assess Heartbeat Observability for mmWave Heart-Rate Sensing

The paper presents HEAR, a dual‑task Transformer that learns to assess heartbeat observability from mmWave radar phase spectra and simultaneously estimates heart rate. Using a controllable FMCW simulator, the authors generate labeled data where observability is defined by the agreement between the dominant heartbeat‑band peak and the known heart rate. Trained only on simulated data, HEAR transfers zero‑shot to real‑world datasets at 60 and 120 GHz, enabling selective heart‑rate estimation that dramatically reduces error and achieves sub‑50 ms latency on edge hardware.
