22		-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. **Neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders**, for example, exhibit significant **clinical overlap, co-pathology, and heterogeneity**, making current diagnostic models insufficient.
	22	+**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.
23	23
24		-This project proposes a **new diagnostic framework**—one that **shifts from symptom-based classifications** to an **etiology-driven, tridimensional system**. By integrating **genetics, proteomics, neuroimaging, computational modeling, and AI-powered annotations**, this approach aims to provide a **more precise, scalable, and biologically grounded method for diagnosing and managing CNS diseases**.
	24	+Additionally, **Neurodiagnoses is now expanding into disease prediction and biomarker estimation**, integrating state-of-the-art machine learning models to enhance precision diagnostics and disease progression forecasting.

	35	+To enhance standardization, interpretability, and clinical application, the framework integrates an AI-powered annotation system, which:
33	33
34		-* **Axis 1**: Etiology (genetic or other causes of diseases).
35		-* **Axis 2**: Molecular Markers (biomarkers).
36		-* **Axis 3**: Neuroanatomoclinical correlations (linking clinical symptoms to structural changes in the nervous system).
	37	+* Assigns structured metadata tags to diagnostic features.
	38	+* Provides real-time contextual explanations for AI-based classifications.
	39	+* Tracks longitudinal disease progression using timestamped AI annotations.
	40	+* Improves AI model transparency through interpretability tools (e.g., SHAP analysis).
	41	+* Facilitates decision-making for clinicians by linking annotations to standardized biomedical ontologies (SNOMED, HPO).

	43	+Neurodiagnoses provides **two complementary AI-driven diagnostic approaches**:
39	39
40		-* Greater precision in diagnosis.
41		-* Integration of incomplete datasets using AI-driven probabilistic modeling.
42		-* Stratification of patients for personalized treatment.
	45	+1. **Probabilistic Diagnosis**
	46	+ * AI assigns probability scores to multiple possible diagnoses based on biomarker, imaging, and clinical data.
	47	+ * Useful for differential diagnosis and treatment decision-making.
43	43
44		-== **The Role of AI-Powered Annotation** ==
	49	+2. **Tridimensional Diagnosis**
	50	+ * Diagnoses are structured based on:
	51	+ - **(1) Etiology** (genetic, autoimmune, metabolic, infectious).
	52	+ - **(2) Molecular Biomarkers** (amyloid-beta, tau, inflammatory markers, EEG patterns).
	53	+ - **(3) Neuroanatomoclinical Correlations** (brain atrophy, connectivity alterations).
	54	+ * This approach enables precise disease subtyping and biologically meaningful classification, particularly useful for tracking progression over time.
45	45
46		-To enhance **standardization, interpretability, and clinical application**, the framework integrates **an AI-powered annotation system**, which:
	56	+Both systems will be offered for every patient case, allowing clinicians to compare AI-generated probabilistic diagnosis with a structured tridimensional classification.
