NLP4CR - Natural Language Processing for Clinical Research
OverviewThe aim of the NLP4CR project is to test whether available NLP techniques are suitable to process medical free texts (medical letters, findings) and to support the recruitment of patients into clinical studies.
The NLP4CR project was initiated as part of Colleen Goldberg's master thesis. Medical information is not always available in a structured form, but as free text documentation. NLP techniques make it possible to analyse, annotate and extract these free texts. In this way, medical data can be made accessible for machine processing and for clinical research.

Abstract (Expand)
Authors: M. Lobe, S. Staubert, C. Goldberg, I. Haffner, A. Winter
Motivation: By using the NLP4CR tool, medical facts (e.g. diagnoses, laboratory values) can be extracted from German medical full texts.
Description: The NLP4CR tool is a prototype that demonstrates the applicability of Apache UIMA and cTakes to medical full texts in German language.
