CogStack NER+L

Natural Language Processing models to determine the context of references in free text data and assign clinical codes (SNOMED, ICD-10 and others).

Product Overview

Intended Use

Not intended for use as a medical device.

Input Data

CogStack works with all text data in any format, including electronic records, Word documents, plain text and PDFs

Output Data

CogStack's NLP models output standardised clinical concepts (SNOMED CT, ICD-10, etc.). Further CogStack tools can update to a common database and can write-back to the EHR.

Public information

Efficacy

Models are cotinually validaed and fine-tuned at across a range of clinical concepts. Common commorbidities, symptoms, findings, procedures and medications are validated to over >.95 F1 score.

Effectiveness

CogStack NLP models have run over millions of records and extracted / contexualised billions of distinct concepts. Outputs have improved in-patient coding accuracy by 25%; reduced time taken for a patient medication review from 2 hours to 5 minutes.

Health Economics

CogStack increases clinical coding productivity by 25% and can detect $100,000s in unbilled activity.

RWE

CogStack has been deployed in healthcare settings in the UK and around the world.  Models are locally validated using our human-in-the-loop interface, attesting to the flexibility of the solution.
