Model family 01 of 04
Signal encoders
Signal encoders read one stream of wearable data, such as a PPG, ECG or accelerometer recording, and turn it into a compact set of features. Those features are then reused for heart rate, blood pressure, arrhythmia, activity or sleep tasks, usually with a small task head or linear probe.
