ECG-guided photoplethysmography (PPG) foundation model pretrained on over 100,000 hours of synchronized PPG-ECG recordings from 58,796 subjects across five clinical and wearable sources, using a CLIP-style contrastive alignment framework so the PPG encoder inherits physiologically grounded structure from paired ECG. Achieves state-of-the-art performance on 13 of 15 conventional physiological-analysis tasks across eight datasets, and shows meaningful discriminative capability (AUC >= 0.70) for 307 ICD-10-coded phenotypes across 16 phecode chapters, including many non-cardiovascular conditions.

Foundation vision-language model for cardiac MRI that learns pathophysiological visual representations directly from the natural-language radiology reports accompanying each scan, rather than from hand-labeled targets. A Multi-scale Vision Transformer (MViT, Kinetics-400-initialized) video encoder for cine CMR sequences is contrastively pretrained (InfoNCE) against a PubMed-pretrained BERT text encoder over 19,041 multi-institutional CMR studies. The frozen vision encoder transfers with strong performance to left-ventricular ejection-fraction regression (MAE 3.34% on a UK Biobank hold-out of ~4,259-45,623 participants) and detecting HFrEF (LVEF<40%, AUC 0.880), and the paper reports emergent zero-/few-shot performance across 39 cardiac and non-cardiac conditions including cardiac amyloidosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Code and pretrained MViT encoder weights are both released (Hugging Face, CC BY-NC 4.0).

Vision-language model that jointly embeds a cardiac MRI study, treated as video, with the impression section of its clinical report. Combines a video encoder over cine/LGE frame sequences with a Bio+ClinicalBERT text encoder using CLIP-style contrastive training. Supports zero-shot and few-shot classification of cardiomyopathies, amyloidosis, and LV dysfunction, plus image/report retrieval and structured report drafting. Trained on a private, single-institution corpus of roughly 11,000-14,000 CMR study-report pairs from Cleveland Clinic and Case Western.

Vision-language foundation model fine-tuned from CLIP on more than one million private echocardiogram video-report pairs, enabling zero-shot cardiac function assessment, device identification, and image/text retrieval without task-specific training. Combines a ConvNeXt-Base video encoder with a GPT-2-style text encoder under contrastive pretraining. Training data is private, but model weights and code are public. Developed by Cedars-Sinai's Ouyang lab.

Echocardiography foundation model trained with a latent-predictive (V-JEPA2-style) self-supervised objective rather than pixel reconstruction, pretrained on 18 million echocardiograms from 300,000 patients drawn from the public MIMIC-IV-ECHO dataset plus a private multi-site archive - reportedly the largest echo pretraining corpus assembled to date. With a frozen backbone and only lightweight added layers, it outperforms prior echo foundation models by roughly 20% on ejection-fraction estimation and 17% on right-ventricular pressure estimation, reaches strong view-classification accuracy using just 1% of labels, and transfers zero-shot to pediatric echo better than fully fine-tuned baselines. Developed by the University of Toronto's Bo Wang Lab.
