• Abstract: Recent statistics indicate that approximately 1.3 billion individuals worldwide suffer from hypertension, a leading cause of premature death globally. Blood pressure (BP) serves as a critical health indicator for accurate and timely diagnosis and/or treatment of hypertension. Driven by recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), there has been a surge of interest in developing data-driven and cuff-less BP estimation solutions. In this context, current literature predominantly focuses on coupling Electrocardiography (ECG) and Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, though this approach is constrained by reliance on multiple sensor types. An alternative, utilizing standalone PPG signals, presents challenges due to the absence of auxiliary sensors (ECG), requiring the use of morphological features while addressing motion artifacts and high-frequency noise. To address these issues, the paper introduces the TransfoRhythm framework, a Transformer-based DNN architecture built upon the recently released physiological database, MIMIC-IV. Leveraging Multi-Head Attention (MHA) mechanism, TransfoRhythm identifies dependencies and similarities across data segments, forming a robust framework for cuff-less BP estimation solely using PPG signals. To our knowledge, this paper represents the first study to apply the MIMIC IV dataset for cuff-less BP estimation, and TransfoRhythm is the first MHA-based model trained via MIMIC IV for BP prediction. Performance evaluation through comprehensive experiments demonstrates TransfoRhythm's superiority over its state-of-the-art counterparts. Specifically, TransfoRhythm achieves highly accurate results with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of [1.84, 1.42] and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of [1.50, 1.17] for systolic and diastolic blood pressures, respectively.

  Existing databases for ECG delineation are small, being insufficient in size and in the array of pathological conditions they represent. This article delves has two main contributions. First, a pseudo-synthetic data generation algorithm was developed, based in probabilistically composing ECG traces given "pools" of fundamental segments, as cropped from the original databases, and a set of rules for their arrangement into coherent synthetic traces. Second, two novel segmentation-based loss functions have been developed, which attempt at enforcing the prediction of an exact number of independent structures and at producing closer segmentation boundaries by focusing on a reduced number of samples.

  Most existing methods used in the hospitals for continuous monitoring of Blood Pressure (BP) are invasive. In this study, we explored the applicability of autoencoders in predicting BP from non-invasively collectible signals such as Photoplethysmogram ( PPG) and ECG signals. It was found that a very shallow, one-dimensional autoencoder can extract the relevant features to predict the SBP and DBP with the state-of-the-art performance on a very large dataset.

  Ischemic heart disease is the highest cause of mortality globally each year. To understand the dynamics of the healthy and unhealthy heart doctors commonly use electrocardiogram (ECG) and arterial pressure (BP) readings.

We train our framework across distributed models and data sources to mimic a large-scale collaborative learning experiment that could be implemented across low-cost wearables.
