FedCoRe is a federated learning framework that addresses missing modalities in healthcare by learning representation- or logit-space corrections instead of generating synthetic data. In a MIMIC-derived respiratory deterioration task, the method uses paired examples where a modality is present or absent to train a completion module, achieving partial recovery of performance lost when modalities like ECG or CXR are hidden. The approach emphasizes validation-gated deployment, ensuring that completion is only applied when paired examples and validation evidence support the presence of the missing modality.

arXiv:2608. 09240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal federated learning (FL) supports collaborative modeling in privacy-sensitive health-sensing and medical settings, but realistic deployments often exhibit dual-axis modality missingness: clients have different modality sets, and individual samples may contain only subsets of the modalities available locally.

arXiv:2608. 13911v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated multimodal medical AI faces modality heterogeneity at both the client and sample levels: clients may systematically lack access to specific modality types, while individual records within the same client may contain different partial modality subsets.

arXiv:2607. 22264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive foundation models trained on tokenized electronic health records (EHRs) can support zero-shot clinical prediction, yet most operate on structured event codes alone, and do not incorporate multiple modalities in a principled way.

arXiv:2606. 06328v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In healthcare, multimodal time series tasks often operate on incomplete observations in practice, for example when ECG segments are lost because electrodes detach or an entire respiratory channel is unavailable during overnight monitoring.
