GPT-style decoder-only Transformer pretrained via next-token prediction on tokenized PPG time series, the companion model to ECG-PT (HeartGPT) in the same repository. Individual attention heads respond to physiologically meaningful waveform features such as the dicrotic notch, and the model can be fine-tuned for wearable-based cardiac screening tasks. Developed at Imperial College London.
