H2: A Dual Hybrid Semantic Data Lake Architecture for Medical Data Harmonization with Human-In-the-Loop verified, LLM Driven Metadata Annotation System

arXiv:2608. 08056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical data, by its nature, exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity on multiple levels ranging from (a) different modalities like images, text and time series, (b) diverse tabular schemata introduced by institutions and (c) completely unstructured textual information data provided by healthcare professionals.

DocTalkBN: A Novel Dataset of Expert Telemedicine Conversations in Bengali

DocTalkBN is a large-scale multimodal dataset of authentic expert telemedicine conversations in Bengali, comprising 557.63 hours of paired audio and text, 1,515 multi-turn patient calls, and 10,274 host–doctor question–answer exchanges across 26 medical specialties. The dataset contains 1.7 million tokens and preserves the spontaneity and contextual richness of real medical interactions in a low-resource language. Three downstream tasks—medical triage classification, advice safety evaluation, and medical named entity recognition—are constructed to benchmark large language models and encoder-based baselines, demonstrating DocTalkBN’s practical usefulness for clinically grounded reasoning.

PIA: A Personal Intelligence Agent Turning Health Conversations into Records and Records into Understanding

PIA is a personal intelligence agent that works alongside a consumer health agent to convert health conversations into structured clinical records and to transform those records into a synthesized understanding of the user. It uses a memory system with four controls—extraction, memory, retrieval, and understanding—each supported by a health module that includes a schema, medical alias dictionary, knowledge graph, and temporal rules. The agent demonstrates that deeper memory injection—from simple recall to a health snapshot to a causal trajectory—yields progressively richer answers, while also revealing challenges such as missing self‑reported data, the influence of question phrasing, and the presence of structural noise in causal links.

Medi-Gemma: A Hybrid Clinical Decision Support System Integrating Deterministic EMR Analytics and Retrieval-Augmented Generation

arXiv:2607. 04907v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) in high-stakes clinical settings remains limited by structural hallucinations, weak deterministic reasoning over tabular patient data, and omissions in vector retrieval.
