Large Language Models as Unified Multimodal Learners for Clinical Prediction

Electronic health records combine free-text clinical narratives with structured measurements such as vital signs, laboratory values, and comorbidities. Yet most clinical prediction systems still rely on task-specific fusion architectures, pairing dedicated encoders for each modality with learned combination mechanisms that must be re-engineered for every new task and clinical setting. We propose a simpler alternative: convert all patient data, regardless of modality, into a single natural…
