Natural language processing for the assessment of cardiovascular disease comorbidities: The <scp>cardio‐Canary</scp> comorbidity project

Abstract

We designed five open-source and highly accurate NLP modules that can be used to assess for the presence of important cardiovascular comorbidities in free-text health records. These modules have been placed in the public domain and can be used for clinical research, trial recruitment and population management at any institution as well as serve as the basis for further development of cardiovascular NLP tools.
