Despite its promise, the development of foundation models for health wearable modeling remains limited when compared to clinical image and text analysis. We designed transformers with patch embeddings and used self-supervised masked autoencoder pretraining on minute-level week-long actigraphy (physical activity intensity measurement) sequences to develop and evaluate the Pretrained Actigraphy Transformer (PAT). PAT is an open-source foundation model for wearable movement time series that combines week-long temporal modeling, psychiatric outcome evaluation, and reproducibility on public data. Pretrained on data from 21,538 U.S.
