PLeDO: Pain Level Detection for Osteoarthritis from EMR Data
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive chronic joint disease resulting in a breakdown of articular cartilage and bone when damaged joint tissues are not able to normally repair themselves. The aim of this pilot research study is to understand the pain severity for OA from patients' primary care Electronic Medical Records (EMR), both from the structured medical data and the unstructured chart note data using information extraction, natural language processing and machine learning techniques.
