Collaborative Healthcare NLP: Customisable NLP platforms for health and related research

For many years, the NLP healthcare application development are driven by NLP engineers. The engineers-centred healthcare NLP unintentionally creates barriers among healthcare workers and slows the deployment of NLP in health and related research.

These barriers include:

1) barrier to access healthcare NLP applications;

2) barrier to applying custom data in the healthcare NLP applications;

3) barrier to customising requirements in the healthcare NLP applications.


In this talk, I will present the collaboration experiences between healthcare researchers when developing healthcare NLP applications. Especially the approaches to break down these barriers. I will demonstrate the latest developments of the GATE NLP platform and use cases in healthcare and related research (including the NHS text analytics platform).
