This research applies a hybrid Transformer architecture combining Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks and XGBoost to achieve high-accuracy, cuffless blood pressure monitoring from physiological signals. While the application targets healthcare, the core contribution lies in advancing machine learning techniques for time-series fusion and nonlinear modeling within medical datasets. The study demonstrates that complex multimodal feature sequences can be effectively processed by advanced AI frameworks to meet clinical-grade accuracy thresholds.
A Multidimensional Data-Driven Hybrid Transformer Framework for Non-invasive Continuous Blood Pressure Prediction
arXiv:2608.23276v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objective. To develop and evaluate a cuffless continuous blood pressure (BP) estimator using temporal physiological and demographic features. We propose a hybrid Transformer framework to estimate diastolic and systolic BP from ECG/PPG-derived feature sequences. Approach. Rather than raw waveforms, the framework models 10-step sequences of six physiological descriptors and two demographic covariates. A Multi-Source Temporal Encoder Module combines Transformer, Kolmogorov-Arnold Network, and XGBoost branches to capture complementary temporal, nonlinear, and tabular information. A Dynamic Conditional Fusion-Decoder applies differential multi-head attention, token-weighted aggregation, and gated residual correction. A robust composite objective jointly optimizes DBP and SBP. Main results. Using the MIMIC-III Waveform and Clinical Databases, the source pool comprised 28,486 waveform segments from 203 subjects, and feature generation retained 53,621 observations from 166 subjects. On 2,431 segment-level held-out test windows, mean error +/- standard deviation was 0.41 +/- 3.74 mmHg for diastolic BP and -1.60 +/- 5.95 mmHg for systolic BP, with 95% limits of agreement of [-6.93, 7.74] and [-13.25, 10.06] mmHg, respectively. The proportions within 10 mmHg were 98.48% and 94.36%. The framework achieved the lowest standard deviations and narrowest limits of agreement among the locally retrained baselines. Significance. The feature-sequence fusion framework improved agreement with reference BP and fell within numerical AAMI and BHS Grade A thresholds on this split. This retrospective analysis is not formal device validation; subject-disjoint and external evaluation remain necessary before clinical use.
