What is it about?
Precision laboratory diagnosis increasingly relies on the interpretation of heterogeneous biological and clinical information. Conventional workflows tend to examine biomarkers, molecular measurements, immunological findings, and clinical characteristics along partly separate analytical pathways. Artificial intelligence (AI) can uncover complex relationships in high-dimensional biomedical data, yet many such systems remain hard to interpret at the point of clinical use. Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) renders algorithmic outputs more transparent by identifying the features, modalities, and interactions that shape a prediction.

Why is it important?
Explainable multimodal AI offers a promising route towards a more integrated diagnostic representation of laboratory and clinical evidence. Its worth will hinge not only on predictive performance but also on analytical robustness, reproducibility, interpretability, calibration, clinical usefulness, and sustained human oversight. Prospective, multicentre evaluation is required before such systems enter routine diagnostic practice.
Perspectives
The framework addresses the shortcomings of isolated single-modality models, namely incomplete biological representation, heterogeneous data structures, missing information, analytical variability, and limited interpretability. Its proposed outputs comprise diagnostic probabilities, contributing features, modality-level evidence, uncertainty estimates, and cases flagged for human review. Particular emphasis falls on analytical validity, calibration, external validation, data provenance, subgroup assessment, cybersecurity, privacy, and human oversight.
