Is It You or Your Environment? A Bayesian Inference Framework for Genomically-Anchored Personalized Physiological Interpretation

arXiv:2606.13556v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalized health AI systems face a fundamental cold-start problem: machine learning models for physiological interpretation require weeks of individual behavioral data before they can distinguish constitutional variation from environmentally driven deviation. We propose a solution grounded in causal inference and Bayesian prior design. An individual's genomic profile serves as an exogenous genetic anchor -- a domain-informed, personalized prior that is fixed at conception, immune to reverse causation, and available before a single behavioral o
The proliferation of personalized health AI systems makes the cold-start problem and lack of reliable prior data a pressing issue, pushing for novel solutions like genomic anchoring.
This development proposes a method to overcome a fundamental limitation in personalized AI, enabling more accurate and immediate physiological interpretations by leveraging inherent genomic data.
Personalized health AI systems could shift from requiring extensive behavioral data collection to immediate, genomically-informed interpretation, increasing their utility and speed of adoption.

Personalized health AI systems will become more effective and faster at providing insights.
This could lead to a significant acceleration in the adoption and impact of preventative and personalized medicine.
Ethical and privacy frameworks around genomic data will need to rapidly evolve to manage the implications of widespread 'genomically-anchored' health interpretation.
