Development of a Corpus Annotated With Mentions of Pain in Mental Health Records: Natural Language Processing Approach.

This research has helped better understand how pain is mentioned within the context of mental health EHRs and provided insight into the kind of information that is typically mentioned around pain in such a data source. In future work, the extracted information will be used to develop and evaluate a machine learning-based NLP application to automatically extract relevant pain information from EHR databases.
