Amazon announces its Comprehend Medical platform to analyse unstructured medical texts
Summary:
Amazon has announced a machine learning service for analyzing and extracting information from different unstructured medical records and text. Comprehend Medical is accessible for developers through AWS, and is partnering with healthcare research centers to assist with things like clinical trial patient matching.
Problem:
"The majority of health and patient data is stored today as unstructured medical text, such as medical notes, prescriptions, audio interview transcripts, and pathology and radiology reports. Identifying this information today is a manual and time consuming process, which either requires data entry by high skilled medical experts, or teams of developers writing custom code and rules to try and extract the information automatically. In both cases this undifferentiated heavy lifting takes material resources away from efforts to improve patient outcomes through technology."
