Expanding AI technology for unstructured biomedical text beyond English

#artificialintelligence

The health industry is embracing the power of big data, cloud computing, and clinical analytics, harnessing data to deliver insights that can improve care and efficiency. Still, unstructured text remains a challenge--made even more complex by barriers of language. Doctors' notes and other unstructured text are often left unreferenced, are hard to parse and learn from, and are difficult to extract insights from, which leads to missed opportunities for diagnosis and better care. Microsoft recognizes the need to enable healthcare organizations worldwide to gather insights from this data--for better, faster, and more personalized care, and to improve health equity. With Text Analytics for Health, a part of Azure Cognitive Services, healthcare organizations around the world can now extract meaningful insights from unstructured text in seven languages and process it in a way that enables clinical decision support like never before.
