Modeling Day-Long ECG Signals to Predict Heart Failure Risk with Explainable AI
arXiv:2601. 00014v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Heart failure (HF) affects 11.
AI-based detection of worsening heart failure from low-resolution telemonitoring data
The study introduces TRACER, a Transformer-based model that uses contrastive event representation to predict timelines leading to heart failure hospitalizations from low-resolution, irregularly sampled telemonitoring data. TRACER incorporates time-aware embeddings, contrastive pre‑training for anomaly detection, and independent binary classifiers, and was evaluated on biomarker sequences from 276 heart failure patients. The model achieved 66.7% accuracy in predicting hospitalization timelines with a 7.9% overestimation, outperforming other tested models by reformulating training as an event detection problem.

Mr.Dec: Daily-Scale Longitudinal Multimodal Modeling for 30-Day Readmission Prediction
Mr.Dec is a new Transformer‑decoder model that predicts 30‑day hospital readmission by treating each admission as a chronological sequence of daily multimodal events, integrating Electronic Health Record updates and Chest X‑ray findings. It uses disease‑specific supervised contrastive learning to shape a diagnosis‑aware latent space and preserves day‑level clinical signals that other methods often compress. Experiments on MIMIC‑IV and MIMIC‑CXR datasets show state‑of‑the‑art performance and the model can highlight "Critical Days" for actionable real‑time risk stratification.

Time-Aware Tranformer-Based Prediction Model for AECOPD
The paper presents a Time-Aware transformer-based model designed to predict Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD) using only respiratory data from daily-use ventilators. By capturing symptom patterns and their temporal progression, the model generates meaningful patient representations and outperforms traditional methods across multiple classification tasks. This approach aims to provide timely detection of AECOPD while minimizing latency associated with clinical and laboratory data.
