Researchers have developed a novel Factorial Hidden Markov Model (FHMM) designed to analyze disease progression in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. This model breaks down a patient's health status into multiple independent components, which can represent comorbidities and lab results, allowing for the identification of clinically relevant states and common disease trajectories. The FHMM was applied to electronic health records from the IQVIA Medical Research Data, revealing distinct pathways of disease progression, including those with microvascular complications and higher mortality risks.
