NHS Text Analytics Cloud

The NHS Text Analytics Cloud built on the GATE Cloud service aims to simplify the large-scale processing of text by providing a highly scalable, on-demand, cloud-backed infrastructure for biomedical text analysis.

The NHS Text Analytics Cloud currently runs over 60 GATE applications and routinely runs over 15 million patient documents to extract structured information. These applications include symptoms diagnosis, background (eg HIV status) extraction, drug adverse events extraction, and so on. In addition, new customised GATE applications can be uploaded to fit specific needs.
