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.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
