Natural Language Processing

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is AI technology that enables computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language. In healthcare, NLP is used to extract information from clinical notes, patient records, and other unstructured text data. NLP can identify medications, diagnoses, symptoms, and other clinical information from free-text documentation, enabling better data utilization and clinical decision support. NLP helps convert unstructured clinical data into structured, actionable information.
