Abstract
Introduction This paper presents a multidisciplinary research activity dealing with the realization of a semantic analyzer tool for the management of information contained in the digital clinical records of patients [...]
When treating structured health-system-related knowledge, the establishment of an over-dimension to guide the separation of entities becomes essential. This is consistent with the information retrieval processes aimed at defining a coherent and dynamic way--meaning by that the multilevel integration of medical textual inputs and computational interpretation --to replicate the flow of data inserted in the clinical records. This study presents a strategic technique to categorize the clinical entities related to patients affected by neurodegenerative diseases. After a pre-processing range of tasks over paper-based and handwritten medical records, and through subsequent machine learning and, more specifically, natural language processing operations over the digitized clinical records, the research activity provides a semantic support system to detect the main symptoms and locate them in the appropriate clusters. Finally, the supervision of the experts proved to be essential in the correspondence sequence configuration aimed at providing an automatic reading of the clinical records according to the clinical data that is needed to predict the detection of neurodegenerative disease symptoms.
