• Abstract: Background: AI-driven prediction algorithms have the potential to enhance emergency medicine by enabling rapid and accurate decision-making regarding patient status and potential deterioration. However, the integration of multimodal data, including raw waveform signals, remains underexplored in clinical decision support. Methods: We present a dataset and benchmarking protocol designed to advance multimodal decision support in emergency care. Our models utilize demographics, biometrics, vital signs, laboratory values, and electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms as inputs to predict both discharge diagnoses and patient deterioration. Results: The diagnostic model achieves area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) scores above 0.8 for 609 out of 1,428 conditions, covering both cardiac (e.g., myocardial infarction) and non-cardiac (e.g., renal disease, diabetes) diagnoses. The deterioration model attains AUROC scores above 0.8 for 14 out of 15 targets, accurately predicting critical events such as cardiac arrest, mechanical ventilation, ICU admission, and mortality. Conclusions: Our study highlights the positive impact of incorporating raw waveform data into decision support models, improving predictive performance. By introducing a unique, publicly available dataset and baseline models, we provide a foundation for measurable progress in AI-driven decision support for emergency care.

  Photoplethysmography and electrocardiography can potentially enable continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring. Yet accurate and robust machine learning (ML) models remains challenging due to variability in data quality and patient-specific factors. In this work, we investigate whether a model pre-trained on one modality can effectively be exploited to improve the accuracy of a different signal type. Our approach achieves near state-of-the-art accuracy for diastolic BP and surpasses by 1.5x the accuracy of prior works for systolic BP.

  acute brain dysfunction (ABD) is a critical challenge due to its prevalence and severe implications for patient outcomes. Our research attempts to solve these problems by harnessing Electronic Health Records (EHR) data. Existing models solely predict a single state (e.g., either delirium or coma) require at least 24 hours of observation data to make predictions. Our research fills these gaps in the existing literature by dynamically predicting delirium, coma, mortality and fluctuating for 12-hour intervals throughout an ICU stay.
