TEDDY foundation model predicts pediatric disease risk with high accuracy

Researchers have developed TEDDY, a novel foundation model designed to predict the risk of various diseases in children using historical diagnostic data. Trained on millions of ICD-10 diagnoses from over a million children, TEDDY demonstrated superior performance compared to traditional machine learning models and even larger general-purpose language models in predicting disease onset. The model showed significant predictive capabilities for both common and rare conditions, with its accuracy holding across different demographics and remaining effective for predictions made over two years before a diagnosis was officially recorded. AI

IMPACT Establishes a new benchmark for predictive healthcare models using limited data, potentially improving early disease detection in pediatrics.

    TEDDY: A Pediatric Foundation Model for Risk Forewarning from ICD-Coded Diagnostic Histories

    arXiv:2607.14191v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pediatric electronic health records capture developmentally structured clinical trajectories, yet their potential for generative healthcare foundation models remains largely unexplored. Here we present TEDDY (Temporal Event Decoder …
