Atigeo Releases Medical Research Search Application
August 27, 2012
A big data analytics company, Atigeo, is making strides in the health care field with a new application that searches the federal database to produce more relevant medical data search results.
Atigeo has launched PubMed Explorer which allows users to search the National Institute of Health’s PubMed database to present results of medical studies based on context in a graphical display.
A story on eWeek.com, “Atigeo Launches Big Data Semantic Search Tool Using NIH PubMed,” tells us more about the product. We learn that the product uses Atigeo’s xPatterns big data semantic search platform in the cloud to fine-tune search results to help the program learn user’s search patterns. This makes for quicker medical research. The article states:
“‘Our goal is to provide medical researchers with the appropriate tools to shorten research cycles, enable breakthroughs and ultimately improve our health,’ Michael Sandoval, chairman and CEO of Atigeo, said in a statement.
PubMed Explorer acts as a domain expert in which an algorithm extracts relevant terms from research studies or clinical EHRs and generates a graph of connections between the documents and discovered data, Burgess explained.”
Over time, this tool can learn the context of searches and the manner in which the query relates to the data can change. A demonstration is available here. These capabilities can help reduce errors in the health care field and facilitate better and faster research.
