SimulaMet / Oslo Metropolitan University (Thambawita et al.)
Generative adversarial network that synthesizes realistic 10-second, 12-lead normal-sinus-rhythm ECGs from scratch, without using any real patient data at inference time, enabling privacy-preserving data sharing and augmentation. Uses a U-Net-style 1D deconvolutional generator with a WaveGAN-inspired discriminator. Outperformed a WaveGAN* baseline on the fraction of generated tracings classified as normal sinus rhythm by a commercial ECG interpretation algorithm. Developed by SimulaMet and Oslo Metropolitan University.
