Electronic health records (EHRs) and routine documentation practices play a vital role in patients’ daily care, providing a holistic record of health, diagnoses, and treatment. However, complex and verbose EHR narratives can overwhelm health care providers, increasing the risk of diagnostic inaccuracies. While large language models (LLMs) have showcased their potential in diverse language tasks, their application in health care must prioritize the minimization of diagnostic errors and the prevention of patient harm. Integrating knowledge graphs (KGs) into LLMs offers a promising approach because structured knowledge from KGs could enhance LLMs’ diagnostic reasoning by providing contextually relevant medical information.

The rapid advancement of deep learning in health care presents significant opportunities for automating complex medical tasks and improving clinical workflows. However, widespread adoption is impeded by data privacy concerns and the necessity for large, diverse datasets across multiple institutions. Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a viable solution, enabling collaborative artificial intelligence model development without sharing individual patient data. To effectively implement FL in health care, robust and secure infrastructures are essential. Developing such federated deep learning frameworks is crucial to harnessing the full potential of artificial intelligence while ensuring patient data privacy and regulatory compliance.

In the contemporary realm of health care, laboratory tests stand as cornerstone components, driving the advancement of precision medicine. These tests offer intricate insights into a variety of medical conditions, thereby facilitating diagnosis, prognosis, and treatments. However, the accessibility of certain tests is hindered by factors such as high costs, a shortage of specialized personnel, or geographic disparities, posing obstacles to achieving equitable health care. For example, an echocardiogram is a type of laboratory test that is extremely important and not easily accessible. The increasing demand for echocardiograms underscores the imperative for more efficient scheduling protocols. Despite this pressing need, limited research has been conducted in this area.
