Time-Aware Tranformer-Based Prediction Model for AECOPD

arXiv:2608.21324v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid symptom change of Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) makes it critical to have time-sensitive prediction models. However, most current machine learning models studying AECOPD use clinical and laboratory data, which will inevitably cause latency. To ensure timely detection of AECOPD and minimize latency, this paper focuses on home monitoring scenarios where only respiratory data from daily-use ventilators is available. We introduce a Time-Aware transformer-based AECOPD prediction model, which generates meaningful patient representations using the Time-Aware transformer to capture the symptoms and their temporal progression in ventilator data. Our experimental results demonstrate that our Time-Aware transformer-based approach outperforms traditional methods in multiple classification tasks, highlighting its potential to enhance AECOPD prediction accuracy.
