TL;DR

A masked joint-embedding (JEPA-style) pretraining framework for *high-level behavioural* wearable time series (daily/sporadic metrics such as resting HR, SpO2, sleep stages, activity) with heavy noise, missing values and irregular sampling. Per the blog: 63 metric channels. Each observation is a (time, value, metric-type) triplet token (d=64). The context encoder sees a random ~30% subset, and a predictor regresses an EMA target encoder's embeddings. Mamba and Transformer variants. Pretrained on ~3M person-days.
