Nowadays a lot of trials for collecting electronic medical records (EMRs) exist. However, structuring data format for EMR is an especially labour-intensive task for practitioners. Here we propose a new mark-up language for medical record charting (ca...

Generating and Executing Complex Natural Language Queries across Linked Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
With the recent and intensive research in the biomedical area, the knowledge accumulated is disseminated through various knowledge bases. Links between these knowledge bases are needed in order to use them jointly. Linked Data, SPARQL language, and i...

Identification of Patients with Family History of Pancreatic Cancer--Investigation of an NLP System Portability.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this study we have developed a rule-based natural language processing (NLP) system to identify patients with family history of pancreatic cancer. The algorithm was developed in a Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) framework an...

Generation of Natural-Language Textual Summaries from Longitudinal Clinical Records.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Physicians are required to interpret, abstract and present in free-text large amounts of clinical data in their daily tasks. This is especially true for chronic-disease domains, but holds also in other clinical domains. We have recently developed a p...
