From Static Risk to Dynamic Trajectories: Toward World-Model-Inspired Clinical Prediction
The article discusses a new approach to clinical prediction that moves from static risk assessments to dynamic modeling of disease trajectories. It emphasizes the importance of intervention-aware models that account for treatment effects and patient-specific disease evolution. The authors propose a unified framework that integrates various modeling techniques to improve clinical decision-making.
- ▪Static prediction models often fail in clinical settings due to conflating disease biology with clinician behavior.
- ▪The review focuses on intervention-aware disease trajectory modeling in clinical AI, which estimates patient-specific longitudinal disease evolution.
- ▪The authors present a unified framework that bridges forecasting, counterfactual trajectories, and policy evaluation.
