Large language models (LLMs) increasingly assist in experimental design, yet fluent protocols often remain physically infeasible. We introduce PhysDox, a physical feasibility auditing benchmark for biomedical protocols comprising a 683-sample expert-curated Gold set and a 5,000-sample Silver set across six sensing domains. We formulate the task as a two-stage evaluation: severity detection classifying protocols as valid, minor, or fatal, followed by the constraint-level diagnosis of fatal violations. Evaluating 6 LLMs across 4 inference strategies yields a peak Stage-1 macro-F1 of only 53.0. Moreover, strong oracle diagnosis collapses during end-to-end evaluation due to correlated cascade errors. Error analysis reveals scaffold bias, where models conflate procedural completeness with physical validity. Consequently, implicit constraints exhibit a 2 times higher miss rate than explicit hardware violations, supported by strong statistical correlation at $ρ{=}0.81$ and $p{<}0.01$. Trace analysis of false negatives exposes a 54%--46% split between attention and judgment failures, ultimately demonstrating that protocol auditing demands calibrated feasibility reasoning rather than factual recall or longer rationales.

As the aging population faces a chronic care deficit, domestic care is increasingly recast as spectral governance. This paper presents a design fiction set in 2036, where the home is governed by Neural-Wave, a camera-free mmWave sensing platform that infers well-being from involuntary micro-motions. Through a set of scenarios, we illustrate how such empathic systems displace autonomy, forcing residents to perform legibility to regain basic freedoms. Our primary contribution is a diegetic artifact: The Neural-Wave Quick Escape Manual. Styled as an illicit guide for the elderly, it details adversarial tactics: structured around protocols to Comply, Degrade, and Refuse, that exploit signal processing vulnerabilities to reclaim domestic privacy. Through this artifact, we argue that in the era of empathic AIoT, privacy requires more than policy opt-outs; it demands adversarial literacy:the capacity to meaningfully obfuscate one's own data traces against an infrastructural jailer that calls itself care.

Cuffless blood pressure (BP) estimation based on Pulse Transit Time (PTT) has emerged as a promising solution for continuous health monitoring. However, conventional models relying on the Moens-Korteweg equation often fail during rapid hemodynamic fluctuations, as they assume arterial walls are purely elastic and neglect inherent viscoelasticity. To address this limitation, we propose a physics-informed framework introducing a viscoelastic compensation mechanism. First, raw photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals undergo high-fidelity reconstruction using Modified Akima (Makima) interpolation. Second, a robust Intersecting Tangent Method is applied for precise pulse foot localization. Crucially, we utilize Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) to isolate high-frequency Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), defining a ``Viscoelastic Velocity Metric'' to quantify the vascular damping effect ($η\cdot \dotε$) typically ignored by elastic models. The framework was rigorously validated on a challenging subset of the MIMIC-II database (364 subjects, 28,525 cardiac cycles) characterized by a high prevalence of hypertension (23.4\%). Experimental results demonstrate medical-grade accuracy, yielding a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 5.22 mmHg for Systolic and 3.65 mmHg for Diastolic BP, with Pearson correlation coefficients ($R > 0.97$). These findings confirm that incorporating viscoelastic features significantly enhances robustness against vascular hysteresis.

This article introduces DT4ECG, an innovative dual-task learning framework for Electrocardiogram (ECG)-based human identity recognition and activity detection. The framework employs a robust one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) backbone integrated with residual blocks to extract discriminative ECG features. To enhance feature representation, we propose a novel Sequence Channel Attention (SCA) mechanism, which combines channel-wise and sequential context attention to prioritize informative features across both temporal and channel dimensions. Furthermore, to address gradient imbalance in multi-task learning, we integrate GradNorm, a technique that dynamically adjusts loss weights based on gradient magnitudes, ensuring balanced training across tasks. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of our model, achieving accuracy rates of 99.12% in ID classification and 90.11% in activity classification. These findings underscore the potential of the DT4ECG framework in enhancing security and user experience across various applications such as fitness monitoring and personalized healthcare, thereby presenting a transformative approach to integrating ECG-based biometrics in everyday technologies.
