Challenges

General healthcare NLP models often fall short

When knowledge grows and changes rapidly and training data is not optimized in medical domains, it can be difficult to create NLP solutions that accurately identify and extract relevant concepts. NLP vendors often lack the necessary experience to deal with the complexity of clinical and biomedical language, account for nuances, and identify relationships between words and phrases. In addition, solutions built on open-source NLP models often require significant investment to add the necessary domain expertise.

Real-world data is typically dirty and incomplete

Accurate and well-organized patient data is critical for recruiting patients for clinical trials, understanding the patient journey for a particular disease, and assessing the benefits and harms of medical treatments. However, inconsistencies in EHR data, real world evidence, and the implementation of interoperability standards, create data that is highly variable and lacks specificity. These gaps in data require a great deal of manual intervention and can drain clinical resources.
