Pharma has a big text problem, including lots of useful information buried in unstructured data formats that is difficult to use. Natural language understanding (NLU) will help to turn what was once unusable data into meaningful insights that can be applied to the clinical trial development continuum. NLU engines also open up the possibility for users to have a more interactive relationship with their vast data stores using speech or chat messaging in a conversational experience.

Join this webinar to see how natural language understanding can be used to solve problems, including:

Tracking adverse events in the real world and clinical trials
Better matching patients for ongoing clinical trials
Uncovering hidden associations from interactions between physiology, therapies, and clinical outcomes
