ArXi:2604.13502v1 Announce Type: new Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) refer to environmental, behavioral, and social conditions that influence how individuals live, work, and age. SDOH have a significant impact on personal health outcomes, and their systematic identification and management can yield substantial improvements in patient care. However, SDOH information is predominantly captured in unstructured clinical notes within electronic health records, which limits its direct use as machine-readable entities.
