Spark NLP for Healthcare

Spark NLP for Healthcare is a widely used NLP library in the healthcare industry, designed to seamlessly scale on Apache Spark clusters. While the core NLP library is open source, the healthcare-specific models are commercially licensed.

Key Capabilities

• Massive Scalability: Built natively on Apache Spark, allowing it to process millions of clinical documents across distributed computing clusters rapidly.
• Pre-trained Clinical Models: Includes hundreds of pre-trained models for tasks like clinical entity recognition, assertion status detection (e.g., distinguishing between a patient having a symptom vs. a family member having it), and relation extraction.
• De-identification: Offers robust, out-of-the-box text de-identification tools that comply with HIPAA and GDPR standards to safely share clinical text.
