Using Natural Language Processing to Curate Unstructured Electronic Health Records into Research Ready Datasets

in partnership with the International COVID-19 Data Alliance, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Minderoo Foundation

What You Will Learn

This presentation provides an overview of Natural Language Processing (NLP), an Artificial Intelligence technique that can be used to curate unstructured medical records. We will see NLP in action as part of the ICODA Grand Challenges ‘PRIEST’ project (Pandemic Respiratory Infection Emergency System Triage) Study for Low and Middle-Income Countries as a case study.
