Amazon Comprehend Medical
#201 · Level 3 · Modern architecture · AI and machine learningConcept
Section titled “Concept”Amazon Comprehend Medical pulls information such as diseases, medicines and doses out of medical text (prescriptions, reports). It is built specially to understand medical terms, so for this work it is more useful than regular Comprehend. It can also spot a patient’s personal health information (PHI). It can also match the extracted information to standard medical codes (such as ICD-10-CM). It is a managed service, so you do not have to build a model yourself.
