Better Patient Screening: New AI-Powered Model Automates Medical Report Analysis

Traditional manual analysis of medical reports is extremely time consuming but crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective patient screening. 

In a recently published scientific study, Luís Elvas - Health Data Engineer in the Breast Cancer Research Programme at the Champalimaud Foundation - and colleagues, have shown that fine-tunning language models can be used for automated analysis of medical reports. This approach can streamline daily clinical workflows, improve categorisation of diseases in patients and offer a tool for new clinical research analysis.
