🎯 ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR CLINICAL VALIDATION

1. Probability Calibration (Ready to Implement)

# Add to clinical_analysis.py
from sklearn.calibration import CalibratedClassifierCV, IsotonicRegression

def calibrate_probabilities(probs: np.ndarray, validation_probs: np.ndarray, validation_true: np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray:
    """Calibrate model probabilities using isotonic regression"""
    calibrator = IsotonicRegression(out_of_bounds='clip')
    calibrator.fit(validation_probs, validation_true)
    return calibrator.predict(probs)

2. Uncertainty Quantification (Ready to Implement)

def calculate_prediction_uncertainty(probs: np.ndarray) -> Dict[str, float]:
    """Calculate prediction uncertainty metrics"""
    entropy = -np.sum(probs * np.log(probs + 1e-10))
    max_prob = np.max(probs)
    confidence_interval = np.percentile(probs, [25, 75])
    
    return {
        'entropy': float(entropy),
        'max_probability': float(max_prob),
        'confidence_interval_25': float(confidence_interval[0]),
        'confidence_interval_75': float(confidence_interval[1]),
        'uncertainty_level': 'High' if entropy > 0.5 else 'Medium' if entropy > 0.3 else 'Low'
    }

3. Clinical Decision Support (Ready to Implement)

def generate_clinical_recommendations(abnormalities: List[str], confidence: float) -> Dict[str, Any]:
    """Generate clinical recommendations based on findings"""
    recommendations = {
        'immediate_action': [],
        'follow_up': [],
        'consultation': [],
        'monitoring': []
    }
    
    # High-confidence critical findings
    if confidence > 0.8:
        if 'Myocardial_Infarction' in abnormalities:
            recommendations['immediate_action'].append('Immediate cardiology consultation')
        if 'Third_Degree_AV_Block' in abnormalities:
            recommendations['immediate_action'].append('Emergency cardiac evaluation')
    
    # Medium-confidence findings
    if confidence > 0.6:
        if 'Atrial_Fibrillation' in abnormalities:
            recommendations['consultation'].append('Cardiology consultation for rhythm management')
        if 'Left_Ventricular_Hypertrophy' in abnormalities:
            recommendations['follow_up'].append('Echocardiogram for structural assessment')
    
    return recommendations

4. Advanced Observability (Ready to Implement)

def log_clinical_analysis(analysis_result: Dict[str, Any], input_hash: str, timestamp: str):
    """Log clinical analysis for audit and monitoring"""
    log_entry = {
        'timestamp': timestamp,
        'input_hash': input_hash,  # No PII
        'abnormalities_count': len(analysis_result['abnormalities']),
        'confidence_level': analysis_result['confidence_level'],
        'review_required': analysis_result['review_required'],
        'method_used': analysis_result['method'],
        'processing_time': analysis_result.get('processing_time', 0)
    }
    
    # Log to secure audit system
    # This would integrate with your logging infrastructure
    print(f"📊 Clinical Analysis Log: {log_entry}")
