arXiv:2606. 01028v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical treatment recommendation poses several challenges to reinforcement learning (RL): patient physiology evolves in continuous time, measurements and interventions are performed at irregular intervals, and treatment effects vary substantially across individuals.
The paper introduces PAFIR, a Personalized and Adaptive Feature selection framework that treats feature selection as a reinforcement learning problem over longitudinal multimodal health data. PAFIR jointly models structural dependencies among assessment variables and temporal dynamics in wearable-derived physical activity data, learning adaptive selection policies across repeated study visits using reward signals from sparse fall incidence outcomes. Applied to the Physio Feedback Exercise Program (PEER) trial, PAFIR outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines by capturing longitudinal and structural patterns of feature relevance, enabling dynamic, subject‑specific feature selection for more timely fall prevention strategies.
The paper introduces an evidence ladder for evaluating reinforcement learning (RL) in healthcare, outlining stages from problem formulation to lifecycle monitoring. It argues that success in historical data does not guarantee real‑world improvement and highlights assumptions and failure modes at each rung. The authors propose reporting practices to support cumulative evaluation and emphasize that RL should be tested as an intervention within a dynamic sociotechnical system.
The paper introduces MedGym, a benchmark environment for dynamic medical treatment recommendation that models patient evolution in continuous time using Physics-Informed Neural Networks. It addresses gaps in existing reinforcement learning (RL) approaches by allowing evaluation of RL methods under irregular measurement intervals, personalized treatment responses, and safety considerations. MedGym enables direct comparison between discrete-time and continuous-time RL methods and supports clinically relevant metrics such as personalization and trajectory-level safety.

arXiv:2607. 06954v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Wearable and mobile sensing technologies have demonstrated strong potential for health inference; however, most sensor models are designed for specific disease types, limiting their transferability across different health risks.
Wearable and mobile sensing technologies have demonstrated strong potential for health inference; however, most sensor models are designed for specific disease types, limiting their transferability across different health risks. Wearable foundation models offer a more generalizable approach in diverse health risk types.
The paper introduces CNA, an AI‑oriented comprehensive normalized assessment that transforms vital‑sign distributions into a standard normal space to produce a unified health‑status score. This score serves as a criterion for evaluating and terminating reinforcement learning policies in Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT). Using a 23‑dimensional state representation and matrix decomposition to handle missing data, the authors apply offline RL algorithms and show that the learned strategy reduces mortality from 13.2% to 5.0% and shortens hospital stays by nearly 59 hours compared to physician‑observed treatments.
