Now you're Speaking my Language! : Building, Maintaining and Using a Patient-Friendly Medical Ontology
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
HealthUnlocked is a social network where people discuss their health. Their users share 4.5 pieces of health content every minute, which they categorise within milliseconds using machine learning.
In order to do this, they need to understand how they talk about their health and relate it to traditional medical ontologies. During this talk, you will learn how they tech teams built that ontology, as well as how they're maintaining it and using it to power their search and content tagging.
