A Comparative Study of Deep Learning Architectures for Multi-Horizon Behavioural Forecasting for Mobile Health

arXiv:2606.14604v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wearable devices and smartphones generate rich behavioural time series that can support proactive health interventions, yet systematic comparisons of modern forecasting architectures for these data are lacking. In particular, it remains unclear how models generalise across populations, how different architectures respond to participant-level fine-tuning and how forecasting accuracy degrades across multi-day horizons. We benchmark six deep learning architectures, two zero-shot Foundation Models (FM) and statistical baselines on three public data

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of wearable devices and advancements in deep learning necessitate systematic comparisons for effective health intervention, marking a critical juncture for AI in personal health.

Why it’s important

This research provides critical benchmarks for leveraging AI in predictive health, paving the way for more effective and proactive personalised healthcare interventions and potentially reducing healthcare burdens.

What changes

The systematic evaluation of deep learning architectures and foundation models for mobile health forecasting provides clearer guidance on model selection and fine-tuning for health applications.
