Clinical usability of an explainable AI decision support tool and evaluation of multimodal models in NSCLC

Nature Medicine, Published online: 13 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04488-2

In a large international real-world study of non-small cell lung cancer, a multimodal explainable AI model outperformed established biomarkers for immunotherapy outcome prediction and improved physician decision-making.

A global digital navigator of human health for precision medicine

Nature Medicine, Published online: 11 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04621-1

The International Consortium of Digital Twins in Healthcare and Medicine was established to advance medical digital twin technology as a new infrastructure for precision health.

Teclistamab versus lenalidomide-dexamethasone in high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma: a randomized phase 2 trial

Nature Medicine, Published online: 11 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04642-w

In the randomized phase 2 ImmunoPRISM trial, patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (MM) showed higher rates of complete clinical responses in response to treatment with teclistamab compared with lenalidomide–dexamethasone, although longer follow-up is required to determine durable prevention of progression to MM.

Joint impact of pathological burden and cognitive resilience on Alzheimer’s disease risk

Nature Medicine, Published online: 11 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04635-9

A 15-year cohort study shows that Alzheimer’s dementia risk is jointly shaped by Alzheimer’s pathology and cognitive resilience, with high resilience linked to lower risk, even under greater pathology.

A clinically-oriented foundation model for intraoperative pathology

Nature Medicine, Published online: 10 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04703-0

CRISP, a vision-based pathology foundation model developed exclusively from frozen section slides, supports treatment decision-making throughout the surgical workflow with superior performance to current foundation models and extensive validation, including in a prospective cohort.

Computable longitudinal patient journeys from structured and unstructured EHR data

Nature Medicine, Published online: 10 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04695-x

A suite of large pre-trained language models accurately extracts computable clinical data from unstructured electronic health records and integrates the findings into knowledge graphs that can facilitate understanding patient trajectories and treatment responses in the real world.

Our Future Health and the next generation of population medicine
