Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Design and implement an intelligent free-text summarization system: The system's input includes large numbers of longitudinal, multivariate, numeric and symbolic clinical raw data, collected over varying periods of time, and in different complex contexts, and a suitable medical knowledge base. The system then automatically generates a textual summary of the data. We aim to prove the feasibility of implementing such a system, and to demonstrate its potential benefits for clinicians and for enhancement of quality of care.
