Body surface gastric mapping (BSGM) enables non-invasive measurement of gastric electrophysiology, but the signals are approximately 100 times weaker than cardiac potentials and overlap spectrally with motion artifacts, necessitating labor-intensive manual review that limits clinical scalability. We present an uncertainty-aware deep learning framework combining a signal reconstruction network with a parallel uncertainty estimation network to automate artifact correction in high-resolution BSGM. Models were trained on 2,398 multihour, 64-channel recordings from 27 international clinical sites using weak supervision, a physiology-aware loss function, and uncertainty-gated quality control. In an independent cohort of 127 patients, the system achieved relative reductions of 39% in signal reconstruction error, 9% in total data removed, and 23% in amplitude--movement correlation compared with the industry-standard Wiener filter. Improved signal fidelity altered automated clinical phenotyping in 7% of patients by recovering previously obscured gastric rhythms. Uncertainty-aware deep learning enables reliable automated artifact correction in body-surface gastric mapping, improving signal fidelity and enabling scalable clinical interpretation. The system is FDA-cleared (510(k) K252504) and deployed in clinical practice, demonstrating that data-driven artifact correction can meet regulatory requirements for medical devices and reduce dependence on specialist manual review.
