Abstract

Medical physicists are transforming physiological measurements and electrophysiological applications by addressing challenges like motion artifacts and regulatory compliance through advanced signal processing, artificial intelligence (AI), and statistical rigor. Their innovations in wearable electrophysiology achieve 8–12 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvements in EEG, 60% motion artifact reduction, and 94.2% accurate AI-driven arrhythmia detection at 12 μW power. In precision neurology, machine learning (ML) with evoked potentials (EPs) predicts spinal cord injury (SCI) recovery and multiple sclerosis (MS) progression with 79.2% accuracy based on retrospective data from 560 SCI/MS patients. By integrating multimodal data (EPs, MRI), developing quantum sensors, and employing federated learning, these can enhance diagnostic precision and prognostic accuracy. Clinical applications span epilepsy, stroke, cardiac monitoring, and chronic pain management, reducing diagnostic errors by 28% and optimizing treatments like deep brain stimulation (DBS). In this paper, we review the current state of wearable devices and provide some insight into possible future directions. Embedding medical physicists into standardization efforts is critical to overcoming barriers like quantum sensor power consumption, advancing personalized, evidence-based healthcare.
