Natural Language Processing
HealthAgents intends to characterise oncologists' information needs and their current search practices and acquisition in a log of clinical questions (elaborated text) and/or queries (set of keywords) to use in later evaluation, through the development of an ebSS (evidence-based search system). The ebSS will use the cancer ontology to harness on-line literature and patient databases to extract relevant information with respect to a given question or patient case and then organises the results for fast appreciation of available evidence (and possibly further search refinement).
