• Abstract: Deep learning's growing prevalence has driven its widespread use in healthcare, where AI and sensor advancements enhance diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. In mobile health, AI-powered tools enable early diagnosis and continuous monitoring of conditions like stress. Wearable technologies and multimodal physiological data have made stress detection increasingly viable, but model efficacy depends on data quality, quantity, and modality. This study develops transformer models for stress detection using the WESAD dataset, training on electrocardiograms (ECG), electrodermal activity (EDA), electromyography (EMG), respiration rate (RESP), temperature (TEMP), and 3-axis accelerometer (ACC) signals. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of single-modality transformers in analyzing physiological signals, achieving state-of-the-art performance with accuracy, precision and recall values in the range of $99.73\%$ to $99.95\%$ for stress detection. Furthermore, this study explores cross-modal performance and also explains the same using 2D visualization of the learned embedding space and quantitative analysis based on data variance. Despite the large body of work on stress detection and monitoring, the robustness and generalization of these models across different modalities has not been explored. This research represents one of the initial efforts to interpret embedding spaces for stress detection, providing valuable information on cross-modal performance.

  Photoplethysmography and electrocardiography can potentially enable continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring. Yet accurate and robust machine learning (ML) models remains challenging due to variability in data quality and patient-specific factors. In this work, we investigate whether a model pre-trained on one modality can effectively be exploited to improve the accuracy of a different signal type. Our approach achieves near state-of-the-art accuracy for diastolic BP and surpasses by 1.5x the accuracy of prior works for systolic BP.

  Existing monitoring approaches were designed on the premise that medical devices track several health metrics concurrently. This means that they report all relevant health values within that scope, which can result in excess resource use and the gathering of extraneous data. We propose Dynamic Activity-Aware Health Monitoring strategy (DActAHM) for striking a balance between optimal monitoring performance and cost efficiency.
