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.

The paper introduces HealthCUES, a real‑time streaming pipeline that extracts and analyzes cough and throat‑clearing events from live spoken conversations. It detects coughs within sub‑second latency, distinguishes cough subtypes (dry, wet, barking, whooping), differentiates coughing from throat clearing, and estimates temporal boundaries, all while gating alerts based on conversational context. The system, built on Qwen3Omni, achieves high accuracy (93% F1 for cough detection) and low latency (340 ms) and has been validated by healthcare professionals for telehealth use.

The paper introduces a framework that aligns self‑supervised respiratory encoders with medical terminology in a shared latent space, enabling zero‑shot respiratory sound classification. By using a medical LLM to generate structured reports from metadata, the method creates dense semantic anchors for contrastive learning, combining a sigmoid‑based contrastive loss with the encoder’s native SSL objective and similarity‑aware negative sampling. On nine tasks across six datasets, the approach achieves a 61.3% mean zero‑shot AUC, outperforming CLAP and Qwen2‑Audio, and reaches the highest linear probing AUC with only 43% of the data used by full‑scale baselines.
