About this event
London NLG Meetup Sept 13th Event- How NLG is improving healthcare
Join us for an evening of talks and networking with pizza and drinks at G-Research premises! Please note that registration is strictly required so guests can get access to the building: https://go.arria.com/london-meetup-220913.html
Talk 1 "Consultation Note Generation - a Journey towards Design, Live Testing & Evaluation"
Clinicians in the UK and US are required to write extensive textual records of each patient encounter. While valuable, these notes put stress on the clinicians' limited time and detract from a focus on patients. Francesco Moramarco will introduce Consultation Note Generation and discuss the steps Babylon took to turn note taking into an NLG product, focusing on UX requirements, a pilot study in live clinical practice, and model evaluation.
Talk 2: “Natural Language Generation in Healthcare”
Dr. Ehud Reiter will discuss the many exciting applications of natural language generation in healthcare, including the Babytalk project, where NLG is used to generate clinical decision support texts, nursing shift handover reports, and patient information updates for babies in a neonatal ICU, using information extracted from the patient record. He will also cover recent work in other use cases, including using NLG to encourage people to change health-related behaviours, and generate draft clinical study reports for regulators.
