Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an adaptive multimodal artificial intelligence framework for cardiovascular disease diagnosis and risk assessment. The framework integrates heterogeneous clinical data modalities—including electrocardiogram signals, echocardiogram and other medical images, electronic health records, laboratory biomarkers, and demographic information—through specialized modality-specific encoders. A novel Cross-Modal Transformer Fusion (CMTF) architecture enables bidirectional attention among all modalities, capturing complex inter-modal relationships that conventional unimodal or late-fusion methods cannot exploit. An Adaptive Modality Gating unit dynamically weights or excludes modalities based on availability and quality, ensuring robust performance even when certain data streams are missing or degraded. Multi-task prediction heads simultaneously deliver disease classification, continuous risk scores, and optional survival estimates, while built-in explainability mechanisms generate attention maps and counterfactual insights to support clinical interpretability. The framework is trained end-to-end with progressive modality dropout and uncertainty-weighted multi-task learning, and is designed for seamless deployment in hospital environments for both retrospective analysis and real-time clinical decision support. By unifying adaptive fusion, multi-task prediction, and interpretability, the invention advances accurate, reliable, and clinically actionable AI-assisted cardiovascular care.
