About this Class

In this webinar, you'll gain insights into the Electronic Medical Record Search Engine (EMERSE). EMERSE is a simple, powerful tool to help researchers like you identify key data within free text clinical notes from electronic health record systems.

Non-technical research teams can use EMERSE to quickly find rare mentions of anything within the free text notes including diseases, gene names, drugs, side effects, and more.

 

With support from the NCI Informatics Technology for Cancer Research program, the EMERSE team recently launched a version with built-in natural language processing (NLP) capabilities, blending the power of NLP with the simplicity of search.

 

Currently, 18 research centers in the U.S. (and one in Europe) currently run or are implementing EMERSE. You can find information at https://project-emerse.org/.
