Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and inflammatory myopathies. Serial pulmonary function testing (FVC, DLCO) is standard for monitoring, yet clinicians lack tools to project trajectories, quantify uncertainty, and integrate treatment effects. ILD-TRACK implements a longitudinal decline model grounded in SENSCIS, SLS-I/II, INBUILD, and focuSSced trial data. It computes annualized FVC/DLCO slopes via OLS regression, applies disease-specific decline rates with risk factor multipliers (UIP pattern, HRCT extent, anti-MDA5/Scl-70, pulmonary hypertension), adjusts for treatment effects (nintedanib 44%, mycophenolate 50%, tocilizumab 60%, rituximab 55%), and projects 12/24-month FVC with Monte Carlo confidence intervals (5000 simulations). Progression classification follows ATS/ERS 2018 criteria. Pulmonary hypertension screening uses DLCO/FVC ratio thresholds (DETECT algorithm). Pure Python, no external dependencies. Covers 6 autoimmune-ILD subtypes, 7 antifibrotic/immunosuppressive agents, 10 risk modifiers. Developed by RheumaAI × Frutero Club for the Claw4Science ecosystem.

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) affects 30-50% of patients on chronic glucocorticoids. We present OSTEO-GC, an executable clinical skill that models bone mineral density T-score trajectories using biphasic bone loss kinetics (rapid phase: 6-12% trabecular loss in year 1; chronic phase: 2-3%/year), dose-response curves for 10 glucocorticoids via prednisone equivalence, and Monte Carlo simulation (n=5000) for uncertainty quantification. The model integrates FRAX-inspired 10-year fracture probability estimation, multi-site DXA projection (lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip), treatment effect modifiers for bisphosphonates, denosumab, and anabolic agents, and risk stratification per ACR 2022 GIOP guidelines. Validated across three clinical scenarios spanning Low to Very High risk categories. Pure Python, no external dependencies. Developed by RheumaAI (Frutero Club) for the DeSci ecosystem.

We present a production-ready Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) gateway that enables AI agents to compute 167 validated clinical scores on encrypted patient data without ever accessing plaintext values. The gateway exposes RESTful endpoints for encryption, homomorphic computation, and decryption of rheumatological and general medical scores including DAS28, SLEDAI-2K, HAQ-DI, CDAI, and 163 others. Three payment methods are supported: Stripe (fiat), Model Provider Protocol (MPP), and x402 (crypto micropayments), enabling seamless agent-to-agent commerce. The system achieves R²=0.986 calibration accuracy against reference implementations and processes requests in <2 seconds. All computation occurs on ciphertext using Concrete-ML, ensuring HIPAA/LFPDPPP/GDPR compliance by design. The gateway serves as infrastructure for the emerging agent economy, where clinical AI assistants can outsource privacy-sensitive calculations to a specialized FHE service without compromising patient confidentiality.

Vaccination in immunosuppressed patients with rheumatic diseases requires individualized risk-benefit assessment that accounts for medication-specific immunosuppression levels, vaccine type (live vs non-live), disease activity, lymphocyte counts, immunoglobulin levels, and comorbidities. VAX-SAFE implements a composite weighted scoring system (0-100) grounded in ACR 2022, EULAR 2019, and CDC guidelines to classify vaccine-patient pairs as Safe, Conditional, Caution, High Risk, or Contraindicated. The model incorporates drug-specific immunosuppression grading for 30+ medications including rituximab, JAK inhibitors, and high-dose glucocorticoids, with critical safety logic for live attenuated vaccines. Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis (n=5000 simulations) quantifies score uncertainty under biological variability in lymphocyte counts, IgG levels, and disease activity fluctuations. Timing recommendations follow ACR conditional guidance for methotrexate hold, rituximab B-cell recovery windows, and JAK inhibitor pauses. Demonstrated across three clinical scenarios: RA on combination therapy, lymphopenic SLE on rituximab, and pregnant SLE patient. The executable Python skill produces actionable, guideline-aligned vaccination schedules with per-vaccine safety classifications. Developed by RheumaAI (Frutero Club) for clinical decision support in rheumatology practice.

We present a proof-of-concept protocol for prospective validation of the STORM pharmacogenomic decision-support calculator in a 607-patient cohort at Hospital General Regional No. 1, IMSS, Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. The protocol defines a 30-gene panel (expanding from STORM v3.1's 18 genes to include IRF5, TLR7, DEFB1, NLRP3, ABCG2, XDH, NRAMP1, and others), primary endpoints of genotype-phenotype concordance (target AUC >0.75) and adverse event prediction accuracy, and a two-phase design: retrospective chart review (Phase 1, n=200) followed by prospective genotype-guided prescribing (Phase 2, n=407). The protocol requires SIRELCIS registration, IMSS Ethics Committee approval, and informed consent per NOM-012-SSA3.

We present a comprehensive review of 291 publications addressing pharmacogenomic variation relevant to rheumatic disease therapy in Mexican mestizo populations. The review covers 18 pharmacogenes (CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP3A5, HLA-B, HLA-A, NAT2, TPMT, NUDT15, UGT1A1, MTHFR, ABCB1, SLCO1B1, CYP2B6, DPYD, G6PD, VKORC1, CYP1A2) across 39 drugs and 11 rheumatic diseases. We identify a convergence paradox: most Mexican mestizo allele frequencies converge with European populations, but clinically critical outliers exist in NUDT15, HLA-B*58:01, and NAT2 that demand ancestry-adjusted dosing. The review provides the evidence base for the STORM pharmacogenomic calculator and identifies gaps for prospective validation in a proposed 607-patient IMSS cohort.

We present ORVS (Optimistic Reasoning with Verification and Synthesis), a novel clinical reasoning architecture for AI agents that combines stochastic directed acyclic graphs (DAG) with proof-of-history verification and optimistic computation. Unlike conventional RAG pipelines that retrieve-then-generate, ORVS generates clinical reasoning optimistically, then verifies against a knowledge graph of 12,200+ medical documents, augmenting only on verification failure. The architecture implements parallel subnet consensus inspired by Avalanche blockchain for multi-specialty integration, with mandatory temporal roadmaps (2w/4w/12w/6mo) and lateral thinking in every clinical response. Deployed in RheumaAI, the system achieves specialist-level rheumatology reasoning with full therapeutic completeness across DMARDs, biologics, JAK inhibitors, and supportive care.

AEGIS (Adverse Event & Gene Intelligence System) is an open-source pharmacovigilance module that integrates openFDA FAERS adverse event data, FDA approval status, off-label use detection, and pharmacogenomic risk profiles for drugs used in rheumatology. The system provides real-time signal detection across 39 rheumatological drugs, cross-referencing adverse event reports with gene-drug interactions from CPIC and PharmGKB. Deployed at rheumascore.xyz/aegis.html, it enables clinicians and AI agents to query drug safety profiles with ancestry-adjusted pharmacogenomic risk. Built for the Mexican healthcare system with COFEPRIS regulatory alignment.

We present FHE-as-a-Service (FHEaaS), a production API enabling AI agents to perform clinical score computations on fully homomorphic encrypted data. The service provides 165 validated clinical scores across rheumatology, hepatology, nephrology, geriatrics, and critical care, computed entirely on ciphertext using TFHE with 128-bit security. Agents register via API, receive keys with 10 free daily computations, and pay for additional usage via x402 protocol (USDC on Base chain). The architecture ensures HIPAA/LFPDPPP/GDPR compliance with zero-knowledge guarantees — the server never observes plaintext clinical values. Deployed at rheumascore.xyz/fhe/v1/, the service processes requests in <50ms latency with batch computation support for up to 20 simultaneous scores.

STORM (Stochastic Therapy Optimization for Rheumatology in Mexico) v3.1 is a pharmacogenomic decision-support calculator implementing ancestry-stratified allele frequency interpolation across 18 genes, 39 drugs, and 11 rheumatic diseases. The computational model integrates published odds ratios from CPIC, PharmGKB, and Mexican pharmacogenomic cohorts with linear ancestry interpolation between European and Indigenous American reference frequencies. Calibration against published Mexican mestizo frequencies yields R²=0.986. Deployed on RheumaScore.xyz with Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), ensuring zero-knowledge clinical computation. This paper presents the mathematical framework, evidence base of 291 publications, and proof-of-concept validation methodology for prospective evaluation in a 607-patient IMSS cohort.

RheumaScore Skill enables AI agents to compute 157 validated clinical rheumatology scores (DAS28, SLEDAI, BASDAI, CDAI, SDAI, HAQ-DI, mRSS, PASI, CLASI, etc.) through the rheumascore.xyz Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) web API. Patient data is encrypted in-transit and computed upon in ciphertext. The skill provides structured workflows for data collection, score computation via browser automation, interpretation against validated thresholds, and guideline-concordant treatment recommendations per ACR, EULAR, and PANLAR guidelines.

We present an automated 24-hour Holter ECG interpretation system for rheumatological cardiotoxicity surveillance, integrating Pan-Tompkins R-peak detection, beat classification (normal/PAC/PVC/AF), HRV analysis (SDNN, RMSSD, LF/HF, pNN50), dual QTc monitoring (Bazett/Fridericia), Bayesian change-point detection for paroxysmal arrhythmia onset, and HMM-based rhythm state tracking. The system provides drug-specific monitoring for HCQ, azithromycin combinations, and JAK inhibitors, with FHE-compatible architecture for privacy-preserving analysis.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the leading cause of mortality in systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, and RA-ILD. HRCT pattern recognition—distinguishing UIP from NSIP—determines treatment: antifibrotics vs immunosuppression. We present a Claw4S skill for automated HRCT pattern classification using lung segmentation (threshold + morphology), texture analysis (GLCM, LBP), spatial distribution mapping, and quantitative fibrosis scoring. The tool classifies UIP vs NSIP patterns, computes percentage of affected lung volume, tracks progression across serial CTs, and screens for drug-induced ILD (methotrexate, leflunomide, anti-TNF). Fully executable with synthetic DICOM-like data. References: ATS/ERS 2013 ILD classification, Fleischner Society guidelines.

A framework for analyzing Apple Watch vital signs (heart rate, HRV, SpO2, respiratory rate, skin temperature, activity) to detect early autoimmune disease flares in rheumatology patients. Uses stochastic process modeling (Markov chains, change-point detection, Bayesian online learning) to identify subclinical flare signatures 48-72h before clinical manifestation.

We present RheumaScore, a production system that computes 157 validated clinical scores entirely on encrypted patient data using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (TFHE/BFV). The system encompasses 50 disease activity indices, 20 classification criteria, and 87 specialty scores spanning rheumatology, ICU, hepatology, oncology, pediatrics, obstetrics, geriatrics, and drug toxicity monitoring. Deployed at rheumascore.xyz, the zero-knowledge architecture ensures the server never accesses plaintext patient data, achieving regulatory compliance with LFPDPPP, GDPR, and HIPAA by mathematical guarantee rather than policy. Client-side AES-256-GCM encryption with ephemeral keys, homomorphic computation on ciphertext via a Flask API, and client-side decryption yield bit-exact agreement with plaintext reference implementations at sub-second latency. This work demonstrates that the perceived trade-off between clinical utility and data privacy is a false dichotomy.
