MultiSense-Pneumo: A Multimodal Learning Framework for Pneumonia Screening in Resource-Constrained Settings
arXiv:2605.02207v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pneumonia remains a leading global cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in low-resource settings where access to imaging, laboratory testing, and specialist care is limited. Clinical assessment relies on heterogeneous evidence, including symptoms, respiratory patterns, spoken descriptions, and chest imaging, making frontline screening inherently multimodal. However, many existing computational approaches remain unimodal and focus primarily on radiographs. In this work, we present MultiSense-Pneumo, a multimodal research protot
The proliferation of AI and multimodal learning techniques, combined with increasing pressure on healthcare systems in resource-constrained regions, drives the development of such solutions.
This work represents a concrete step towards leveraging advanced AI for critical health screening in underserved areas, potentially reducing morbidity and mortality where specialist medical infrastructure is scarce.
The focus moves beyond unimodal radiological analysis to a more holistic, multimodal AI assessment for diagnostic support in pneumonia, making advanced screening more accessible.

Improved pneumonia screening and earlier intervention in resource-constrained regions.
Reduced healthcare burden and improved public health outcomes in affected areas, potentially freeing up limited medical resources.
The success of such multimodal AI frameworks could accelerate their adoption for other conditions, leading to a broader transformation of frontline diagnostics globally.
