Single-Beat Cuffless Blood Pressure Estimation Using Ear-PPG and ECG with a Lightweight Hybrid Learning Framework

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.27076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuous cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitoring remains challenging due to motion artifacts, physiological variability, and the limited robustness of conventional pulse transit time (PTT) models under dynamic conditions. Many prior approaches rely on multi-second windows to stabilize estimation, an assumption that is frequently violated during real-world monitoring with intermittent signal corruption. Here, we show that discriminative BP-related information is preserved at the single-beat level and present a lightweight multi-modal wearable framework for continuous BP estimation. The system integrates synchronized chest electrocardiography (ECG) and ear-clip reflectance photoplethysmography, each co-located with a 6-axis inertial measureme
