HEM-Med: A Hierarchical Agentic Memory Framework for Safe Multi-Center Medication Recommendation

HEM-Med introduces a hierarchical agentic memory framework for safe multi‑center medication recommendation, addressing two key gaps in existing methods. It disentangles cross‑hospital clinical experience from hospital‑specific prescribing patterns via a hierarchical memory module, and incorporates a safety‑aware medication set generation module that considers drug‑drug interactions and local formulary constraints. Experiments on a real‑world multi‑center eICU dataset demonstrate that HEM‑Med outperforms representative transfer learning, LLM‑based, and MR baselines in both recommendation accuracy and safety.

HADRec: A Hierarchy-Aware Drug Recommendation Framework by Fusing Molecular Knowledge and Electronic Health Record

HADRec is a Hierarchy-Aware Drug Recommendation framework that fuses molecular knowledge and electronic health records to improve medication recommendation. It uses LLaMA-7B to encode clinical notes, ChemBERTa to encode drug SMILES strings, and a cross‑attention mechanism for multimodal fusion, while a hierarchical predictor and consistency constraint loss enforce adherence to the ATC classification system. Experiments on MIMIC‑III and MIMIC‑IV show state‑of‑the‑art performance, strong generalization, and well‑calibrated predictions, with counterfactual evaluation indicating clinically aligned reasoning.

Learning Diagnostic Reasoning for Decision Support in Toxicology

The paper introduces DeToxR, a reinforcement‑learning‑enhanced large language model designed to support decision making in acute toxicology cases. It fuses unstructured narratives from paramedics and patients with structured vital‑sign data to predict co‑ingested substances across 14 classes. In preliminary validation, DeToxR outperforms baseline models, achieving higher micro‑F1 and recall scores for poison identification.

From Scores to Safe Sets: Exact Safety--Constrained Decoding for Medication Recommendation

The paper compares local repair methods for medication recommendation with an exact global decoder that uses mixed‑integer linear programming to enforce drug–drug interaction constraints. Using fixed medication scores from FLAME on MIMIC‑III, the global decoder consistently outperforms greedy, degree‑aware, and 1‑swap repair strategies, especially under tighter DDI constraints, achieving up to +0.0064 higher Jaccard similarity on the test split. The study demonstrates that the way scores are mapped to a feasible medication set can significantly influence prediction quality, even when the underlying clinical model is frozen.
