Data Balancing
Addresses severe class imbalance using CTGAN-based synthetic data generation with PiShield constraint enforcement, preserving clinically valid feature distributions and improving detection of minority complications.
Model Adaptation
Adapts a pretrained EHR foundation model (Hyena-based CLMBR) to operate effectively on static patient data using Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) for fine-tuning.
Explainability
Integrates SHAP and Integrated Gradients (IGs) to provide feature-level attributions, ensuring transparent and clinically meaningful predictions, with a focus on explanation stability under input perturbations.
Ensemble Learning
Combines a LoRA-adapted Hyena-based foundation model with a tree-based predictor (XGBoost) in a weighted ensemble to achieve superior predictive performance and explanation consistency.

Clinical Utility: Early Detection of Diabetic Nephropathy
A 55-year-old patient with Type 2 Diabetes presents with elevated TestCreatinin (80 µmol/L) and HbA1c (9.5%). The ensemble model predicts a high risk of nephropathy with 92% probability. The top explanations highlight the patient's elevated creatinine, long duration of diabetes (DiabetesAge), and suboptimal glycemic control (HbA1c). This early warning allows for timely intervention, including lifestyle modifications and medication adjustments, potentially preventing progression to end-stage renal disease.
Key Benefit: Proactive intervention based on explainable risk factors.
