20 -The classification and diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) diseases have long been constrained by traditional phenotypic approaches that fail to capture the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, molecular biomarkers, and neuroanatomical changes that drive disease progression. For instance, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders exhibit significant clinical overlap, co-pathology, and heterogeneity, a new diagnostic framework is urgently needed—one that shifts from symptom-based classifications toward an etiology-driven, tridimensional system integrating genetics, proteomics, neuroimaging, and computational modeling. By leveraging AI, multi-modal biomarkers, and precision medicine, this framework aims to provide a more objective, scalable, and biologically grounded approach to diagnosing and managing CNS diseases, ultimately leading to earlier detection, personalized interventions, and improved patient outcomes.

21 +The classification and diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) diseases have long been constrained by traditional, phenotype-based approaches that often fail to capture the complex interplay of pathophysiological mechanisms, molecular biomarkers, and neuroanatomical changes. Neurodiagnoses redefines this landscape by integrating advanced AI with multi-modal data—including genetics, neuroimaging, biomarkers, and digital health records—to create a more precise, scalable, and data-driven diagnostic system.

24 -The //Tridimensional Diagnostic Framework// redefines CNS diseases can be classified and diagnosed by focusing on:
23 +In addition to these clinical diagnostic approaches, Neurodiagnoses has expanded into a research-oriented platform through the integration of **CNS Digital Twins**. This cutting-edge concept involves creating a personalized digital replica of a patient’s CNS by incorporating multi-omics data (proteomics, genomics, lipidomics, transcriptomics), various neuroimaging modalities, and digital health information. These digital twins enable simulations of disease progression, support the discovery of novel biomarkers, and help identify new therapeutic targets.

35 35  
34 +To enhance standardization, interpretability, and clinical application, the framework integrates an AI-powered annotation system, which:
35 +
36 +* Assign structured metadata tags to diagnostic features.
37 +* Provides real-time contextual explanations for AI-based classifications.
38 +* Tracks longitudinal disease progression using timestamped AI annotations.
39 +* Improves AI model transparency through interpretability tools (e.g., SHAP analysis).
40 +* Facilitates decision-making for clinicians by linking annotations to standardized biomedical ontologies (SNOMED, HPO).
41 +
42 +Neurodiagnoses provides two complementary AI-driven diagnostic approaches:
43 +
44 +1. Traditional Probabilistic Diagnosis
45 +
46 +* AI provides multiple possible diagnoses, each assigned a probability percentage based on biomarker, imaging, and clinical data.
47 +* Useful for differential diagnosis and treatment decision-making.
48 +
49 +2. Tridimensional Diagnosis
50 +
51 +* Diagnoses are structured based on:
52 +(1) Etiology (genetic, autoimmune, metabolic, infectious)
53 +(2) Molecular Biomarkers (amyloid-beta, tau, inflammatory markers, EEG patterns)
54 +(3) Neuroanatomoclinical Correlations (brain atrophy, connectivity alterations)
55 +* This approach enables precise disease subtyping and biologically meaningful classification, particularly useful for tracking progression over time.
56 +
57 +Both systems will be offered for every patient case, allowing clinicians to compare AI-generated probabilistic diagnosis with a structured tridimensional classification.
