      <description>A research paper compares direct and ECG-mediated deep-learning methods for estimating blood pressure from photoplethysmography (PPG) signals captured by wearable sensors. The full paper is linked below.

Classifier (7.0): Direct PPG-based blood pressure monitoring is substantively relevant to wearable physiological monitoring systems that could support heat-strain and fatigue detection in field operations, though the paper does not address military or occupational safety applications directly.

      <description>A research paper sets out good-practice methods for quantifying uncertainty in machine-learning models applied to photoplethysmography (PPG) signals, the optical signals used in wearable heart-rate and physiological monitors. The full paper is linked below.

Classifier (8.0): Substantive research guide on uncertainty quantification for PPG-based wearable models directly applicable to physiological monitoring systems for heat strain and fatigue detection in operational environments.
