ECGTFormer is a compact causal ECG foundation model that operates over physiology-aware tokens for P, QRS, T, PR, ST, and TP regions per lead, with continuous-time rotary position encoding and V-JEPA-style pretraining. It supports single- or multi-lead streaming inference. Presented at the NeurIPS 2026 GenAI4Health workshop.
