A new benchmark called PPG-Bench has been developed to standardize the evaluation of foundation models for photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. The benchmark aims to address the inconsistencies in current evaluation methods, which use varied datasets, tasks, and preprocessing techniques. PPG-Bench evaluates five public PPG foundation models across 26 tasks and nine datasets, comparing them against baselines like random chance, deterministic feature sets, and a generic time-series model. The findings indicate that many current PPG foundation models do not significantly outperform simpler controls, suggesting that generalized and transferable representations of PPG signals have not yet been achieved.
