Built a GNN model with a prototype-based layer to diagnose patients from electronic health record (EHR) graph data 🧠

Adapted an existing prototype-based approach to healthcare data (MIMIC-III), identifying the parts of the patient graph influencing each prediction.

Evaluated model performance and compared results with common explanation methods.
