The researchers proposed the DeMMO framework, aimed at addressing practical challenges in modeling longitudinal digital mobility outcomes across diseases. This framework achieves a mechanism for selective information sharing between mutually exclusive queues without the need for paired participants by directly inferring symbolic relationships from learned longitudinal mappings. The research team evaluated the framework on the Mobilise-D dataset, which included longitudinal observations, various clinical outcomes, and four mutually exclusive queues. Results showed that DeMMO achieved the best overall predictive performance in eight strong benchmark models and outperformed baseline models in most individual outcomes. Additionally, the framework is interpretable; it identifies reliable longitudinal digital mobility patterns that can guide subsequent clinical validation, while meeting the needs of modeling time evolution within a single disease and joint modeling across multiple diseases.
