The case lives on a timeline
Diagnosis, testing, treatment response, side effects, and follow-up decisions happen in sequence. Looking only at the latest note can hide why a choice was made and what changed afterward.
Patterns are not prescriptions
De-identified patient journeys can help surface plausible paths and useful questions. They cannot decide what is right for one person. Clinical context, preferences, and the treating team remain essential.
Prediction is most useful when it helps a person ask a better question—not when it pretends uncertainty has disappeared.
What good decision support should do
It should show its reasoning, distinguish strong evidence from a weak signal, and make tradeoffs legible. The goal is a clearer conversation, not an automated treatment decision.
