As you plan which sessions to attend today at #Ubicomp2026, we strongly encourage you to pencil in Session D2 on Wednesday afternoon. Ken Christofferson will talk about how earbuds can use acoustic information to reconstruct the arterial pulse wave for heart health monitoring!

If you're at #Ubicomp2026 today, we highly encourage you to attend the Health Centric Wearable Devices workshop (Room 5C) this morning to see Andrii Lenyshyn present the work he's done to identify indicators of heart failure using acoustic sensing with earbuds.

Our paper Peak-Detector was accepted at IMWUT, #UbiComp2026 🎉

Peak detection in ECG, PPG, BCG and BSG underlies heart rate, HRV and arrhythmia screening. Classic detectors need per-modality rules; deep models are opaque.

We asked: can an LLM detect peaks and explain why?
