Investigating bias in the natural language processing of electronic health records

  • Applicant: Angus Roberts
  • Project ID: 18-093

When clinicians describe patients in medical records, their language may reflect bias against certain groups of patients or conditions. This project will study the language of electronic health records to see if such biases can be detected and measured.

The Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) system is a computer system that allows researchers at the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) to carry out research using information from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust clinical records.
