Studies in health technology and informatics
Assessment of vital signs is an essential part of surveillance of critically ill patients to detect condition changes and clinical deterioration. While most modern electronic medical records allow for vitals to be recorded in a structured format, the...

A Frequency-based Strategy of Obtaining Sentences from Clinical Data Repository for Crowdsourcing.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In clinical NLP, one major barrier to adopting crowdsourcing for NLP annotation is the issue of confidentiality for protected health information (PHI) in clinical narratives. In this paper, we investigated the use of a frequency-based approach to ext...

A Process for the Representation of openEHR ADL Archetypes in OWL Ontologies.

Studies in health technology and informatics
ADL is a formal language to express archetypes, independent of standards or domain. However, its specification is not precise enough in relation to the specialization and semantic of archetypes, presenting difficulties in implementation and a few ava...

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...

Automated Learning of Temporal Expressions.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Clinical notes contain important temporal information that are critical for making clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as for retrospective analyses. Manually created regular expressions are commonly used for the extraction of temporal informati...

An Approach for Automatic Classification of Radiology Reports in Spanish.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Automatic detection of relevant terms in medical reports is useful for educational purposes and for clinical research. Natural language processing (NLP) techniques can be applied in order to identify them. In this work we present an approach to class...

Automatically Expanding the Synonym Set of SNOMED CT using Wikipedia.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Clinical terminologies and ontologies are often used in natural language processing/understanding tasks as a method for semantically tagging text. One ontology commonly used for this task is SNOMED CT. Natural language is rich and varied: many differ...
