Currently, the development of deep learning-based multimodal learning is advancing rapidly, and is widely used in the field of artificial intelligence-generated content, such as image-text conversion and image-text generation. Electronic health records are digital information such as numbers, charts, and texts generated by medical staff using information systems in the process of medical activities. The multimodal fusion method of electronic health records based on deep learning can assist medical staff in the medical field to comprehensively analyze a large number of medical multimodal data generated in the process of diagnosis and treatment, thereby achieving accurate diagnosis and timely intervention for patients. In this article, we firstly introduce the methods and development trends of deep learning-based multimodal data fusion. Secondly, we summarize and compare the fusion of structured electronic medical records with other medical data such as images and texts, focusing on the clinical application types, sample sizes, and the fusion methods involved in the research. Through the analysis and summary of the literature, the deep learning methods for fusion of different medical modal data are as follows: first, selecting the appropriate pre-trained model according to the data modality for feature representation and post-fusion, and secondly, fusing based on the attention mechanism. Lastly, the difficulties encountered in multimodal medical data fusion and its developmental directions, including modeling methods, evaluation and application of models, are discussed. Through this review article, we expect to provide reference information for the establishment of models that can comprehensively utilize various modal medical data.
