This pioneering study introduces Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) in medical diagnostics, explicitly focusing on translating images between disparate modalities, exemplified by the conversion from Photoplethysmography (PPG) to Electrocardiography (ECG). The method harnesses inherent data relationships to generate high-fidelity cross-modality images, offering valuable anatomical insights, aiding disease identification, and facilitating effective treatment planning. The study highlights cGANs’ transformative role in overcoming modality challenges and emphasizes their potential to revolutionize medical diagnostics. The proposed methodology contributes to dataset expansion through data synthesis, enhancing patient monitoring efficacy. Ethical considerations address synthetic data usage in medical settings, emphasizing responsible technology application. Rigorous evaluation validates the approach, affirming its effectiveness in preserving diagnostic features and establishing potential widespread adoption in medical imaging. This research signifies a new era in patient care, highlighting cGANs’ pivotal role in advancing diagnostic innovation and pushing healthcare boundaries responsibly.
