The paper introduces CHDT, an intervention‑conditioned Human Digital Twin generator designed to model multimodal longitudinal patient trajectories. It explicitly accounts for irregular visit intervals and cross‑mediator dependencies, which are often neglected in existing models. Experiments on ADNI and ALPACA datasets demonstrate that CHDT achieves higher long‑horizon patient‑state fidelity compared to baseline methods, with irregular‑time conditioning providing the main benefit and cross‑mediator refinement adding further improvement.

The paper investigates how learned multimodal representations of high‑dimensional health data can fail to preserve causal information, even when trained to reconstruct the data. It establishes conditions under which a representation is sufficient for causal identification, shows that interventional mediation requires stricter preservation than counterfactual comparison, and proves that reconstruction‑based objectives cannot certify sufficiency. The authors decompose the error of cross‑fitted doubly robust estimators into a first‑order representation bias and a second‑order nuisance‑estimation remainder, demonstrating that coverage can deteriorate with larger samples if the representation is insufficient. They propose a practical workflow that combines modality‑specific variational autoencoders, cross‑fitted doubly robust estimation, locked phenotypes, selective pathway analysis, portable representations, and diagnostics for representation insufficiency, exposure leakage, and sensitivity, and validate it in simulations where a rare confounder’s omission leads to severely under‑covered indirect‑effect intervals.
