Researchers have developed a novel deep learning approach using convolutional neural networks to classify arterial pulse waves into age groups. By transforming time-series pulse wave data into images via the Symmetric Projection Attractor Reconstruction (SPAR) method, the model can distinguish between subjects in closely spaced age brackets. This technique achieved F1 scores above 70% for both photoplethysmography (PPG) and arterial tonometry signals, suggesting its potential for early cardiovascular risk detection, particularly with smart wearable devices.
