Ending the Semester on a High Note: A Successful SLDR for BeatNet
This week marked an exciting milestone for Team BeatNet — the completion of our System-Level Design Review (SLDR) and the wrap-up of the Fall semester. Our presentation showcased how the project has evolved far beyond a standard deep learning classification task. We’ve successfully transitioned into building a Self-Supervised Foundation Model for ECG learning — positioning BeatNet at the forefront of intelligent mobile cardiology solutions.
A Big Thank You
We want to express our sincere gratitude to:
- Aventusoft, our project sponsor, for continuously challenging us with ambitious goals — especially in adapting advanced AI techniques to single-lead wearable ECG.
- Dr. Kejun Huang, our team coach, for expert guidance, thoughtful feedback, and helping us refine both our engineering approach and long-term system vision.
Your support and encouragement helped drive every breakthrough we achieved this semester.
Looking Ahead: Ready for the Spring Sprint
What’s next for BeatNet?
With the holidays around the corner, our immediate plan is simple: rest, recharge, and reconnect with family and friends. Once the Spring semester kicks off, we’ll resume at full speed — laser-focused on:
- Validating segmentation and classification performance
- Advancing explainability for clinical trust
- Model compression and deployment to mobile
The momentum is strong, and we’re excited to accelerate our journey toward a real-world, deployable system.
