Large language models in medical time series analysis
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.22262v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical time series (MedTS), including electrocardiograms (ECG), electroencephalograms (EEG), photoplethysmography (PPG), and vital-sign recordings, are central to clinical diagnosis and health monitoring. As large language models (LLMs) have advanced, a growing body of work has examined how their reasoning, generation, and knowledge-integration capabilities can support MedTS analysis. Yet existing studies remain scattered, and the field still lacks a clear view of how these models should be designed, integrated into clinical workflows, and eva

Why it matters
This model development creates a new option for users and a new testing obligation for developers. A fixed evaluation set comparing quality, cost and failure behavior is more useful than launch claims.
