arXiv:2606.09907v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal clinical learning is increasingly important for integrating diverse patient data, including imaging, text, and personalised health records. However, it faces two fundamental challenges: i) modality missingness, where arbitrary subsets of modalities are unavailable at a given patient visit, ii) longitudinal dynamics, where the diagnostic significance of an observation depends on the patient's evolving disease trajectory over time. Existing methods address these challenges in isolation: missing-modality frameworks treat each visit as an
The proliferation of diverse clinical data and the advancement of multimodal AI necessitate robust solutions for integrating complex patient trajectories despite data incompleteness.
This research addresses fundamental challenges in clinical AI, promising more accurate and comprehensive diagnoses and prognoses by accounting for evolving patient states and incomplete data.
Clinical AI models can move beyond static snapshot analyses to dynamically interpret patient data over time, improving the reliability and utility of AI in healthcare.
