Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Health monitoring is a critical component of modern healthcare, requiring continuous or periodic measurement of physiological parameters to accurately assess personal health status. Advances in wearable technology have significantly improved the accessibility and convenience of such monitoring. Among various form factors, earables offer unique advantages: they can capture rich biosignals, provide stable and motion-resistant measurements, ensure long-term comfort, maintain discreteness, and integrate seamlessly with everyday audio functionalities. By investigating the latest technological advances and application cases in ear-worn devices, this survey reviews the current state of earable technology in health monitoring, identifies gaps and opportunities, and suggests directions for future research and development. We first explore the multifaceted role of earables in health monitoring, including measurement of physiological parameters, activity monitoring, and healthcare applications. We then summarize the challenges of robustness, context-awareness, and signal fidelity, and outline six future directions-dynamic monitoring, context-aware processing, multimodal fusion, semantic activity understanding, personalized adaptation, and explainable AI-to advance earable health monitoring.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
