Use of Natural Language Processing for Rare Diseases Market Orientation
The author makes a comparison between healthcare databases using natural language processing and search engines. 30 rare diseases and 500,000 search results were carried out using Pubmed, FindZebra, and the search engine Google. The same results were applied to common diseases, and the author concluded that FindZebra and Google provide good results in the case of common diseases as regards the evaluation of therapies and diagnosis. The quantity of findings from professional databases, for example from Pubmed, remains unsurpassed.
