pyhealth
Build clinical/healthcare deep-learning pipelines with PyHealth — loading EHR/signal/imaging datasets (MIMIC-III/IV, eICU, OMOP, SleepEDF, ChestXray14, EHRShot), defining tasks (mortality, readmission, length-of-stay, drug recommendation, sleep staging, ICD coding, EEG events), instantiating models (Transformer, RETAIN, GAMENet, SafeDrug, MICRON, StageNet, AdaCare, CNN/RNN/MLP), training with the PyHealth Trainer, computing clinical metrics, and using medical code utilities (ICD/ATC/NDC/RxNorm lookup and cross-mapping). Use this skill whenever the user mentions PyHealth, MIMIC, eICU, OMOP, EHR
npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills --skill pyhealth --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# PyHealth PyHealth (https://pyhealth.dev/) is a Python toolkit for clinical deep learning. It provides a unified, modular pipeline across electronic health records (EHR), physiological signals, and medical imaging. The library is built around a **5-stage pipeline** — `Dataset → Task → Model → Trainer → Metrics` — where each stage is replaceable and the interfaces between stages are stable. Code that follows this pipeline shape composes well; code that bypasses it usually fights the library. ## When to use this skill Use this skill whenever the user is doing clinical/healthcare ML and any of the following are true: - They mention PyHealth, MIMIC-III/IV, eICU, OMOP-CDM, EHRShot, SleepEDF, SHHS, ISRUC, COVID19-CXR, ChestX-ray14, TUEV/TUAB. - They want to predict mortality, readmission, length of stay, drug recommendations, sleep stages, ICD codes, EEG events, or de-identification. - They need to look up or cross-map medical codes (ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM, ATC, NDC, RxNorm, CCS). - They have EHR-shaped data and want to train a clinical model without writing the plumbing themselves. PyHealth is the right tool when the workflow fits its 5 stages. If the user just wants generic PyTorch on ta

What does the pyhealth skill do?
Build clinical/healthcare deep-learning pipelines with PyHealth — loading EHR/signal/imaging datasets (MIMIC-III/IV, eICU, OMOP, SleepEDF, ChestXray14, EHRShot), defining tasks (mortality, readmission, length-of-stay, drug recommendation, sleep staging, ICD coding, EEG events), instantiating models (Transformer, RETAIN, GAMENet, SafeDrug, MICRON, StageNet, AdaCare, CNN/RNN/MLP), training with the PyHealth Trainer, computing clinical metrics, and using medical code utilities (ICD/ATC/NDC/RxNorm lookup and cross-mapping). Use this skill whenever the user mentions PyHealth, MIMIC, eICU, OMOP, EHR
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills --skill pyhealth --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, a repository with 32,619 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
