CarePath-ASSIST: Automating shared synthesis of information for safer treatment

Summary

Healthcare systems rely on self-advocacy from service users to maintain the safety and quality of care. Systemic bias, service pressures and workforce issues often deny agency to patients at times when they need to have most control over representation of their story. This drives diagnostic error, treatment delay or failure to treat important conditions. In maternal care, perinatal mental health and thrombosis are significant challenges. With funding from SBRI Health care, Ulster University and Southern Health and Social Care Trust are developing an NLP powered platform that will empower mothers to be more active agents in their perinatal care.
