New framework FORMA generates realistic clinical vignettes preserving cognitive models

Researchers have developed FORMA, a framework designed to generate clinical case vignettes that accurately reflect specific cognitive models of disorders. This system compiles a disorder's cognitive model into a directed weighted graph, samples individual configurations, and then generates vignettes that preserve the specified components and causal links. When applied to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder using the Ehlers and Clark cognitive model, FORMA produced vignettes that experts rated significantly higher than those generated without the framework, with clinicians perceiving them as human-written 85% of the time. The framework also demonstrated a reduction in demographic disparities in perceived vignette quality. AI

IMPACT Enhances the ability to create realistic and auditable synthetic clinical data for training and research.

    Generating Clinical Vignettes that Preserve Cognitive Formulations

    arXiv:2608.29995v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models can generate fluent clinical case vignettes, but fluency alone does not ensure fidelity to a specifiable clinical structure. We introduce FORMA, a theory-grounded framework that compiles a cognitive model of …
