Introduction

The rapid digital transformation of healthcare has led to the emergence of smart biosignal processing systems that integrate sensing technologies, artificial intelligence, and data-driven analytics to revolutionize patient monitoring and diagnostics [1]. These systems enable continuous observation of physiological functions through wearable, implantable, and ambient sensors that capture real-time biological signals such as electrocardiograms (ECG), electroencephalograms (EEG), electromyograms (EMG), and photoplethysmograms (PPG) [2]. The fusion of biomedical signal processing with intelligent computational models allows clinicians to derive meaningful insights from complex physiological patterns, enabling early diagnosis and preventive healthcare [3]. Traditional hospital-centric monitoring models are gradually being replaced by decentralized and intelligent systems capable of supporting patients across homes, workplaces, and remote environments [4]. The goal of this technological shift is to create an adaptive, responsive, and efficient healthcare ecosystem where biosignals serve as a continuous link between patients and medical expertise [5].

The evolution of biosignal processing technologies has been driven by advances in sensor miniaturization, wireless communication, and computational intelligence [6]. High-resolution, low-power biosensors are capable of detecting subtle physiological changes that were once difficult to observe outside of clinical settings [7]. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure enables these sensors to transmit data securely to cloud and edge computing platforms, where artificial intelligence algorithms perform real-time analysis and predictive modeling [8]. This capability allows for timely alerts, remote diagnostics, and personalized healthcare recommendations based on individual physiological profiles [9]. The growing adoption of such systems across cardiology, neurology, and rehabilitation medicine highlights their potential to bridge gaps between medical accessibility and technological innovation, ensuring continuous and data-informed healthcare delivery [10].

Machine learning and deep learning techniques have further expanded the analytical potential of biosignal processing [11]. These algorithms can automatically identify patterns, extract meaningful features, and predict health outcomes from noisy and high-dimensional biosignal data [12]. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and transformer-based models have been applied to detect arrhythmias, classify sleep stages, and monitor muscle fatigue with exceptional precision [13]. Unlike conventional signal processing techniques that rely on handcrafted features, data-driven models learn complex representations directly from raw signals, improving diagnostic accuracy and adaptability [14]. The inclusion of federated learning mechanisms ensures data privacy and decentralization by enabling models to train collaboratively across distributed devices without exposing sensitive medical information. Such innovations ensure that diagnostic intelligence evolves in parallel with ethical and privacy-preserving principles, promoting responsible adoption in healthcare ecosystems [15].
