20 -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.

33 -== **The role of AI-powered annotation** ==
34 -
35 -To enhance standardization, interpretability, and clinical application, the framework integrates an AI-powered annotation system, which:
36 -
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).
42 -
43 -Neurodiagnoses provides **two complementary AI-driven diagnostic approaches**:
44 -
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.
48 -
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.
55 -
56 -Both systems will be offered for every patient case, allowing clinicians to compare AI-generated probabilistic diagnosis with a structured tridimensional classification.

63 - - Estimation of fluid-based and neuroimaging biomarkers without invasive testing.
64 - - Multi-modal machine learning models for predicting molecular and clinical markers.

67 - - AI-driven forecasts for neurodegenerative disease evolution.
