CaseWeaver: A Multi-Agent Framework for Multimodal Virtual Clinical Case Generation
TL;DR
CaseWeaver is introduced, a multi-agent framework built around a timeline-anchored Latent Clinical Case Graph (LCCG) that organizes patient context, latent disease states, clinical events, and expected observations in a shared patient-level representation, and outperformed general-model and agentic-workflow baselines on both metrics.
Abstract
Clinical diagnosis relies on consistent multimodal data collected from the same patient throughout the disease course, yet such data are difficult to acquire at scale because of collection costs, missing modalities, fragmented systems, and longitudinal follow-ups. Existing synthetic-data approaches largely focus on individual modalities or vision-language dual modalities at report-level generation. Little work has been done to construct synthetic data with consistent patient backgrounds, coherent disease trajectories, and interrelated modality-specific evidence at a complete clinical case level. We introduce CaseWeaver, a multi-agent framework built around a timeline-anchored Latent Clinical Case Graph (LCCG). The LCCG organizes patient context, latent disease states, clinical events, and expected observations in a shared patient-level representation. Modality-agents use scoped observation subgraphs and clinical protocols to generate evidence including clinical records, laboratory results, physiological signals, and medical images. We evaluate clinical inferability using a calibrated AgentClinic protocol and case diversity using Virtual Case Diversity (VCD) score. CaseWeaver outperformed general-model and agentic-workflow baselines on both metrics, producing more diverse and coherent multimodal virtual clinical cases.
