The University of California (UC) Irvine has partnered with a biomedical company to research and develop data science platforms in critical care units.
UC Irvine has partnered with Melax Tech, an international natural language processing (NLP) and biomedical technology company, to explore the ability to obtain information from electronic medical record notes, specifically for professionals working in the ICU.
The PLN seeks that computers can understand human language either through text or voice. And one of its most used applications is for the extraction of medical data from clinical research, scientific articles, and clinical notes from health professionals.
In this way, UC Irvine will use two tools from Melax Tech, the first being LANN, which is a text annotation tool that manages to write, transcribe clinical notes and train PLN models. The other tool, CLAMP, is based on the development and customization of PLN, which, through deep learning and machine learning techniques, develops hybrid channels for the extraction of written clinical information.
In this regard, UCI researchers at UC Irvine will be able to analyze free-text clinical narrative data using NLP technologies. In this way, it will facilitate the tasks of health professionals, given the large amount of free text data that can go through the process promoted by UC Irvine and Melax Tech.
In addition, this association will be able to validate Melax Tech technologies on a large scale thanks to the data sets that the university has. Likewise, you will be able to build relationships with UCI researchers and generate new opportunities for collaboration with other universities and/or health centers.
This news comes after UC Irvine recently backed the creation of an Institute for Precision in Health, which seeks to promote medical research based on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
