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.

Cross-View Attention Fusion Net: A Prior-Guided Dual-View Representation Learning for Cardiac Output Estimation from Short-Term PPG Signals
The Cross-View Attention Fusion Network (CVAF‑Net) is a dual‑view deep learning model that estimates cardiac output from short photoplethysmography (PPG) segments by combining raw PPG signals with a structured prior‑guided feature sequence map through cross‑view attention. Evaluated on simulated, vasoconstriction, and real‑world activity datasets, CVAF‑Net achieved a mean absolute error of 0.19 L/min on simulated data and as low as 1.20 L/min in real settings, outperforming most benchmarks while reducing computational cost by twelvefold compared to a leading Transformer model. Plausibility checks confirmed physiologically consistent correlations with age, heart rate, and systemic vascular resistance.
