Abstrakt: Medicine is undergoing an unprecedented digital transformation, as massive amounts of health data are being produced, gathered, and curated, ranging from in-hospital (e.g., intensive care unit [ICU]) to person-generated data (wearables). Annotating all these data for training purposes in order to feed to deep learning models for pattern recognition is impractical. Here, we discuss some exciting recent results of self-supervised learning (SSL) applications to high-resolution health signals. These examples leverage unlabeled data to learn meaningful representations that can generalize to situations where the ground truth is inadequate or simply infeasible to collect due to the high burden or associated costs. The most prominent bottleneck of deep learning today is access to labeled, carefully curated datasets, and self-supervision on health signals opens up new possibilities to eliminate data silos through general-purpose models that can transfer to low-resource environments and tasks.
