Benchmark of deep learning architectures for multi-horizon behavioural forecasting in mobile health

A new arXiv preprint benchmarks six deep learning architectures, two zero-shot foundation models, and statistical baselines on multi-horizon behavioural forecasting from wearable and smartphone data across 800+ participants. Key findings include: no single architecture dominates (PatchTST leads among trained models), TimesFM matches or exceeds trained models zero-shot especially in low-data regimes, and participant-level fine-tuning reduces per-feature RMSE by 16–60%. The study is the first to jointly evaluate modern deep learning, foundation models, and personalisation for this domain.
