Overcoming Data Loss in Wearable Disease Detection with GAN-Based Imputation
High rates of missing data in wearable sensor streams hinder early detection of infectious diseases, especially in low-resource settings with inconsistent device adherence and connectivity. Our lightweight generative adversarial network (GAN) framework imputes missing heart rate data, integrating with a rule-based anomaly detection algorithm to identify early signs of infection. This approach demonstrates scalable, cross-pathogen physiological monitoring and offers a robust tool for disease surveillance in settings challenged by high wearable data loss, enhancing continuity and diagnostic value of physiological data.
Executive Impact & Strategic Value
Our GAN-based imputation model revolutionizes wearable health monitoring by ensuring data continuity and diagnostic fidelity in resource-constrained settings, transforming fragmented data into actionable insights for proactive disease surveillance.

GAN-Based Imputation Outperforms Conventional Methods
Our research rigorously compared the GAN-based framework against standard imputation methods like mean substitution, LOCF, GPR, and BGMM. The GAN consistently yielded the lowest mean squared error (MSE) in masked regions, with performance gains most evident in sequences where missing data exceeded 20%. Specifically, in the malaria cohort, the GAN reduced MSE by 58% compared to baseline methods. Crucially, the GAN preserved heart rate dynamics and circadian structure, essential for identifying early autonomic disruptions linked to infection onset.

Enhanced Early Detection & Clinical Relevance
Improved imputation fidelity directly translated into better infection detection. With GAN-imputed data, recall increased to 89.45% and precision rose to 69.75%, yielding an F1-score of 78.38% using an LSTM-AE model. Furthermore, our rule-based Finite State Machine (FSM) detected 100 malaria infection episodes, 42 of which were uniquely identified due to GAN-enabled imputation. These alerts occurred an average of 11.9 days before symptom onset, aligning with known parasitemia dynamics and demonstrating significant clinical utility.
Case Study: Participant 279, Malaria Detection
Participant 279, diagnosed with malaria, had only seven HR data points in three weeks pre-symptom onset, insufficient for raw data detection. GAN-based imputation revealed a progressive elevation in nightly heart rate and loss of circadian amplitude 16 days before symptom onset. The first anomaly alert coincided with device non-adherence, but GAN reconstruction still enabled early detection, demonstrating its power in sparse data scenarios.
Cross-Pathogen Generalization in Resource-Limited Settings
A key finding is the GAN's ability to generalize across disease contexts. Trained exclusively on a COVID-19 dataset, it effectively reconstructed HR trajectories and restored circadian patterns in high-missingness malaria sequences without retraining. This cross-cohort performance highlights its potential as scalable infrastructure for infection monitoring in data-scarce environments like LMICs, where local datasets are often limited. The model captures fundamental physiological dynamics rather than overfitting to specific diseases or populations.

Enabling Proactive Surveillance & Resource Optimization
This approach moves beyond reactive care to anticipatory surveillance, enabling timely, individualized interventions. By providing continuous, passive data collection without requiring facility-based visits, it supports community-level triage and optimizes the allocation of scarce healthcare resources in LMICs. The extended alert duration (3.5 consecutive days) further aids in aligning with diagnostic protocols, making wearable data dropout a recoverable signal rather than a barrier to detection.
