Abstract

Smart healthcare has achieved significant progress in recent years. Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies enable various smart applications across various healthcare scenarios. As an essential technology powered by AI, natural language processing (NLP) plays a key role in smart healthcare due to its capability of analysing and understanding human language. In this work, we review existing studies that concern NLP for smart healthcare from the perspectives of technique and application. We first elaborate on different NLP approaches and the NLP pipeline for smart healthcare from the technical point of view. Then, in the context of smart healthcare applications employing NLP techniques, we introduce representative smart healthcare scenarios, including clinical practice, hospital management, personal care, public health, and drug development. We further discuss two specific medical issues, i.e., the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and mental health, in which NLP-driven smart healthcare plays an important role. Finally, we discuss the limitations of current works and identify the directions for future works.

智能医疗的自然语言处理。

近年来，智能医疗取得了重大进展。新兴的人工智能（AI）技术能够在各种医疗保健场景中实现各种智能应用。作为人工智能的一项重要技术，自然语言处理（NLP）凭借其分析和理解人类语言的能力，在智能医疗领域发挥着关键作用。在这项工作中，我们从技术和应用的角度回顾了与智能医疗 NLP 有关的现有研究。我们首先从技术角度阐述了不同的 NLP 方法和用于智能医疗的 NLP 管道。然后，在采用 NLP 技术的智能医疗应用背景下，我们介绍了具有代表性的智能医疗场景，包括临床实践、医院管理、个人护理、公共卫生和药物开发。我们进一步讨论了两个具体的医疗问题，即冠状病毒病 2019（COVID-19）大流行和心理健康，NLP 驱动的智能医疗在其中发挥了重要作用。最后，我们讨论了当前工作的局限性，并确定了未来工作的方向。

期刊介绍： IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering (RBME) serves as a platform to review the state-of-the-art and trends in the interdisciplinary field of biomedical engineering, which encompasses engineering, life sciences, and medicine. The journal aims to consolidate research and reviews for members of all IEEE societies interested in biomedical engineering. Recognizing the demand for comprehensive reviews among authors of various IEEE journals, RBME addresses this need by receiving, reviewing, and publishing scholarly works under one umbrella. It covers a broad spectrum, from historical to modern developments in biomedical engineering and the integration of technologies from various IEEE societies into the life sciences and medicine.
