Abstract: Traditional health evaluation methods mainly use single-viewpoint data representation. Such methods are hard to learn the complex interrelationships between physiological and behavioural factors. This article introduces a dual-branch model that integrates spatial features and frequency features. The original features are processed by multi-layer perceptrons, while the frequency features are learned through the fast Fourier transform and modelled using one-dimensional convolutional neural networks. Finally, the outputs of the two branches are fused to generate the final prediction result. This study conducted experiments on a student health dataset that includes physiological, behavioural and psychological attributes. The proposed model was compared with several classic machine learning methods. The results showed that the proposed method achieved the best overall performance, with an accuracy rate of 0.900 and an F1 score of 0.8977. Further analysis using methods such as confusion matrix, ROC curve and feature visualisation confirmed its excellent performance.
