Hybrid Attention-Driven Network for Predictive Healthcare Using Machine Learning and Data Analytics Perspective

Abstract
The integration of machine learning (ML) and healthcare analytics has opened new previously unseen doors for risk assessment, early diagnosis, and personalized planning of therapy. With the growing expansion of medical imaging, electronic health records (EHRs), and physiological signals, today it is both possible and imperative to use data-driven approaches to uncover meaningful insights. (i) Limited generalizability across patient populations due to insufficient or skewed data; (ii) interpretability of black-box models, undermining clinical trust; and (iii) inadequate multimodal integration of data sources, resulting in isolated decision-making, are the three key issues with current ML-based frameworks, despite spectacular advancements. To overcome these, we present HAD-Net (hybrid attention-driven network), a multimodal deep learning architecture that combines structured EHR data with unstructured imaging modalities through the combined strength of self-attention mechanisms, graph neural networks (GNNs), and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM). A Bayesian-tuned adaptive learning scheduler is utilized to adaptively tune the model for better convergence, and SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) is added to provide understandable risk predictions. A dataset of the NIH ChestX-ray14 collection and the MIMIC-III clinical database was used to test the proposed HAD-Net. With an AUROC of 94.3%, accuracy of 91.7%, and F1-score of 92.1%, the HAD-Net outperformed the best-performing baseline by 9.5% and 12.4%, respectively, over conventional machine learning models (random forest and logistic regression) and novel deep models (CNN-LSTM and transformer-based models). Moreover, the addition of SHAP explanations enhanced interpretability of the model and enabled biomarker discovery for clinically relevant biomarkers like abnormal PaO₂/FiO₂ ratios, raised troponin, and radiographic infiltrates. These findings validate the applicability of HAD-Net for effective, multimodal analytics to provide personalized and predictive care, which in turn enables proactive clinical decision-making and minimizes avoidable adverse consequences.
