	21	+The classification and diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) diseases have long been constrained by traditional phenotype-based approaches, which often fail to capture the complex pathophysiological mechanisms, molecular biomarkers, and neuroanatomical changes that drive disease progression.
	22	+
	23	+Neurodiagnoses is an open-source AI-powered diagnostic system designed for complex CNS disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune encephalopathies, prion disorders, and genetic syndromes. The project aims to develop a tridimensional diagnostic framework with an AI-powered annotation system, integrating etiology, molecular biomarkers, and neuroanatomoclinical correlations for precise, standardized, and scalable CNS disease diagnostics.

	37	+== **The Role of AI-Powered Annotation** ==
	38	+
	39	+To enhance standardization, interpretability, and clinical application, the framework integrates an AI-powered annotation system, which:
	40	+
	41	+* Assigns structured metadata tags to diagnostic features.
	42	+* Provides real-time contextual explanations for AI-based classifications.
	43	+* Tracks longitudinal disease progression using timestamped AI annotations.
	44	+* Improves AI model transparency through interpretability tools (e.g., SHAP analysis).
	45	+* Facilitates decision-making for clinicians by linking annotations to standardized biomedical ontologies (SNOMED, HPO).
	46	+
	47	+Neurodiagnoses provides two complementary AI-driven diagnostic approaches:
	48	+
	49	+1. Traditional Probabilistic Diagnosis
	50	+
	51	+* AI provides multiple possible diagnoses, each assigned a probability percentage based on biomarker, imaging, and clinical data.
	52	+* Example Output:
	53	+** 75% Alzheimer's Disease
	54	+** 20% Lewy Body Dementia
	55	+** 5% Vascular Dementia
	56	+* Useful for differential diagnosis and treatment decision-making.
	57	+
	58	+2. Tridimensional Diagnosis
	59	+
	60	+* Diagnoses are structured based on:
	61	+(1) Etiology (genetic, autoimmune, metabolic, infectious)
	62	+(2) Molecular Biomarkers (amyloid-beta, tau, inflammatory markers, EEG patterns)
	63	+(3) Neuroanatomoclinical Correlations (brain atrophy, connectivity alterations)
	64	+* This approach enables precise disease subtyping and biologically meaningful classification, particularly useful to track progression over time.
	65	+
	66	+For every patient case, both systems will be offered, allowing clinicians to compare AI-generated probabilistic diagnosis with a structured tridimensional classification.
