Intelligent Healthcare

Language Technology in healthcare and the life sciences is one of the fastest growing parts of the LT industry. Managing complex scientific data on the one hand and equally complex clinical data on the other is a compelling challenge, made even more so by the need to communicate effectively with patients. Today LT makes physicians and healthcare delivery organisations more efficient. Today pharmaceutical and bio-science companies mine scientific data using LT for faster and safer drug development. Today patients expect clear diagnostic information, and efficient communication with practitioners. Tomorrow healthcare and life sciences will share seamless access to medical and scientific data using commonly accepted models mapped to terminology in many languages, used by many different types of systems. Tomorrow patients will expect more control over their personal medical data, and the ability to transport and use it in the ways they want, to communicate it, and about it, across language barriers, all in secure and reliable environments.
