Abstract

With the development of modern cameras, more physiological signals can be obtained from portable devices like smartphone. Some hemodynamically based non-invasive video processing applications have been applied for blood pressure classification and blood glucose prediction objectives for unobtrusive physiological monitoring at home. However, this approach is still under development with very few publications. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end framework, entitled cocktail causal container, to fuse multiple physiological representations and to reconstruct the correlation between frequency and temporal information during multi-task learning. Cocktail causal container processes hematologic reflex information to classify blood pressure and blood glucose. Since the learning of discriminative features from video physiological representations is quite challenging, we propose a token feature fusion block to fuse the multi-view fine-grained representations to a union discrete frequency space. A causal net is used to analyze the fused higher-order information, so that the framework can be enforced to disentangle the latent factors into the related endogenous association that corresponds to down-stream fusion information to improve the semantic interpretation. Moreover, a pair-wise temporal frequency map is developed to provide valuable insights into extraction of salient photoplethysmograph (PPG) information from fingertip videos obtained by a standard smartphone camera. Extensive comparisons have been implemented for the validation of cocktail causal container using a Clinical dataset and PPG-BP benchmark. The root mean square error of 1.329 ± 0.167 for blood glucose prediction and precision of 0.89 ± 0.03 for blood pressure classification are achieved in Clinical dataset.
