Hassanzadeh H, Karimi S, Nguyen. Matching Patients to Clinical Trials Using Semantically Enriched Document Representation. Journal of Biomedical Informatics, Volume 105, 2020, 103406
Recruiting eligible patients for clinical trials is crucial for reliably answering specific questions about medical interventions and evaluation. However, clinical trial recruitment is a bottleneck in clinical research and drug development. Our goal is to provide an approach towards automating this manual and time-consuming patient recruitment task using natural language processing and machine learning techniques.
