Extracting Medical Information From Free-Text and Unstructured Patient-Generated Health Data Using Natural Language Processing Methods: Feasibility Study With Real-world Data (Preprint)

Patient generated health data (PGHD) is important to understand a patient's health condition out of the clinic and communicate timely. It plays a supplementary role in preventive medicine, self-care, remote patient monitoring and patient-reported outcomes. In addition to standard measures and structured data (sensors, biometric data), unstructured PGHD (free-text data) can provide a broader view of a patient's journey and health condition.
