TL;DR

Treats scalar HR as a reduction of an unobserved pulse-to-pulse-interval (PPI) trajectory. PPI-Net predicts a 128-point PPI trajectory with per-point uncertainty and derives HR by inverse-variance-weighted aggregation. On an identical backbone, swapping the scalar head for the trajectory head lowers participant-level MAE from 5.11 to 4.04 BPM under leave-one-subject-out (paired −1.07 BPM, better on 13/15 subjects, P = .010).
