MOSAIC: Modality-Specific Adaptation for Incremental Continual Learning in Parkinson's Disease Gait Assessment

arXiv:2606.13258v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gait-based Parkinson's disease assessment increasingly relies on heterogeneous sensors, but clinical systems rarely collect all modalities simultaneously. New sensors may arrive through device upgrades, protocol changes, or multi-center deployment, while historical patient data are often unavailable because of privacy and storage constraints. This modality-incremental setting faces three challenges: unreliable cross-modal distillation, modality-specific statistical shifts, and reduced plasticity after preservation. We propose MOSAIC, a compact co

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing reliance on heterogeneous sensors for medical assessments and challenges with data privacy and storage are driving innovation in continual learning for clinical AI systems.

Why it’s important

This development addresses critical issues in deploying robust and adaptable AI for healthcare, particularly for progressive diseases like Parkinson's, by enabling systems to integrate new data modalities without retraining on sensitive historical information.

What changes

AI systems can now more effectively adapt to evolving data inputs from diverse medical sensors and clinical protocols while preserving patient data privacy and optimizing computational resources.
