• Abstract: Digital mobility outcomes (DMOs) derived from wearable sensors characterise mobility in daily life and offer a promising means of monitoring disease progression. However, existing DMO studies have typically focused on either a single disease or a single visit. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to systematically model and analyse longitudinal multivariate DMOs across diverse mobility-limiting diseases. Specifically, we propose DeMMO, an interpretable framework for longitudinal, multi-disease, and multi-outcome learning. DeMMO represents each disease--outcome objective using a longitudinal DMO coefficient matrix and combines temporal regularisation with stable and visit-specific feature selection. Its central technical contribution is an automatic cross-disease and cross-outcome relation-learning mechanism that infers signed relations directly from these longitudinal mappings, thereby enabling selective information sharing across cohorts without requiring paired participants. We evaluate DeMMO on the recently released, large-scale, multicentre Mobilise-D dataset, which comprises four participant-disjoint cohorts representing distinct mobility-limiting diseases, with each cohort contributing one or more clinical measurement outcomes. Compared with eight strong structural longitudinal and deep-regression baselines, DeMMO achieves the best overall predictive performance and outperforms the baselines for most individual outcomes. Stability selection further identifies reliable longitudinal DMO patterns that can inform subsequent clinical validation and disease monitoring. The implementation code is available at https://github.com/menghui-zhou/DeMMO.

  Multimodal clinical learning is increasingly important for integrating diverse patient data, including imaging, text, and personalised health records.<n>It faces two fundamental challenges: i) modality missingness, where arbitrary subsets of modalities are unavailable at a given patient visit, and ii) longitudinal dynamics, where the diagnostic significance of an observation depends on the patient's evolving disease trajectory over time.<n>We propose LongMoE (Longitudinal Mixture-of-Experts), the unified framework to jointly address both challenges.
