A particular challenge for disease progression modeling is the heterogeneity of a disease and its manifestations in the patients. Existing approaches often assume the presence of a single disease progression characteristics which is unlikely for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson' disease. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical time-series model that can discover multiple disease progression dynamics. The proposed model is an extension of an input-output hidden Markov model that takes into account the clinical assessments of patients' health status and prescribed medications. We illustrate the benefits of our model using a synthetically generated dataset and a real-world longitudinal dataset for Parkinson's disease.
