Acute Respiratory Distress Identification via Multi-Modality Using Deep Learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Medical instruments are essential in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) for measuring respiratory parameters to prevent health complications. However, the assessment of acute respiratory distress (ARD) is still conducted through intermittent visual examination. This process is subjective, labor-intensive, and prone to human error, making it unsuitable for continuous monitoring and early detection of deterioration. Previous studies have proposed solutions to address these challenges, but their techniques rely on color information, the performance of which can be influenced by variations in skin tone and lighting conditions. We propose leveraging multi-modality data to address these limitations. Our method integrates color and depth data using deep convolutional neural networks with a late feature fusion scheme. We train and evaluate our model on a dataset of 153 patients with respiratory illnesses, 86 of whom have ARD of varying severity levels. Experimental results demonstrate that multi-modality data combined with simple late fusion techniques are more effective with limited data, offering higher confidence scores compared to using color information alone. Our approach achieves an accuracy of 85.2%, a precision of 86.7%, a recall of 85.2%, and an F1 score of 85.8%. These findings suggest that multi-modality data provide a promising solution for improving ARD detection accuracy and confidence in clinical settings.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
