Generative AI and NLP approaches for healthcare and life sciences
Natural language processing (NLP) is a machine learning technology that gives computers the ability to interpret, manipulate, and comprehend human language. Healthcare and life science organizations have large volumes of data from patient records. They can use NLP software to automatically process this data. For example, they can combine NLP with generative AI to streamline medical coding, extract patient information, and summarize records.
Depending on the NLP task that you want to perform, different architectures might be best suited for your use case. This guide addresses the following generative AI and NLP options for healthcare and life science applications on AWS:
-
Using Amazon Comprehend Medical – Learn about how to use Amazon Comprehend Medical independently, without integrating it with a large language model (LLM).
-
Combining Amazon Comprehend Medical with large language models – Learn about how to combine Amazon Comprehend Medical with an LLM in a Retrieval Augment Generation (RAG) architecture.
-
Using large language models for healthcare and life science use cases – Learn about how to use an LLM for healthcare and life science applications, either by using a fine-tuned LLM or a RAG architecture.
