Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) enables non-contact physiological signal extraction from facial videos, offering applications in psychological state analysis, medical assistance, and anti-face spoofing. However, challenges such as motion artifacts, lighting variations, and noise limit its real-world applicability. To address these issues, we propose PhysMamba, a novel dual-pathway time-frequency interaction model based on Synergistic State Space Duality (SSSD), which for the first time integrates state space models with attention mechanisms in a dual-branch framework. Combined with a Multi-Scale Query (MQ) mechanism, PhysMamba achieves efficient information exchange and enhanced feature representation, ensuring robustness under noisy and dynamic conditions. Experiments on PURE, UBFC-rPPG, and MMPD datasets demonstrate that PhysMamba outperforms state-of-the-art methods, offering superior accuracy and generalization. This work lays a strong foundation for practical applications in non-contact health monitoring, including real-time remote patient care.

Diabetic foot neuropathy (DFN) is a critical factor leading to diabetic foot ulcers, which is one of the most common and severe complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) and is associated with high risks of amputation and mortality. Despite its significance, existing datasets do not directly derive from plantar data and lack continuous, long-term foot-specific information. To advance DFN research, we have collected a novel dataset comprising continuous plantar pressure data to recognize diabetic foot neuropathy. This dataset includes data from 94 DM patients with DFN and 41 DM patients without DFN. Moreover, traditional methods divide datasets by individuals, potentially leading to significant domain discrepancies in some feature spaces due to the absence of mid-domain data. In this paper, we propose an effective domain adaptation method to address this proplem. We split the dataset based on convolutional feature statistics and select appropriate sub-source domains to enhance efficiency and avoid negative transfer. We then align the distributions of each source and target domain pair in specific feature spaces to minimize the domain gap. Comprehensive results validate the effectiveness of our method on both the newly proposed dataset for DFN recognition and an existing dataset.
