Abstract

Electronic Health Records (EHR) data in the medical field contain a wealth of valuable biomedical knowledge and provide a crucial resource for healthcare data analysis. However, privacy protection and data sharing constraints have become significant bottlenecks for researchers, hindering the application and development of data analysis and machine learning techniques in healthcare. To address these challenges, researchers have been exploring the use of generative modeling methods to generate EHR data. This paper aims to systematically review the development of diffusion models within generative models and their application in the field of EHR data generation. Firstly, we introduce and summarize the origins and evolution of diffusion models. Next, we delve into various existing diffusion model methods, providing a detailed analysis of each approach. We then list and compare different generative modeling methods applied in EHR data generation, emphasizing the advantages and limitations of diffusion models. Finally, we summarize the current applications of diffusion models in EHR data generation, discuss the limitations of current research, and present an outlook on the future development and application of diffusion models in this field.
