      Durante a cirurgia ortopédica para corrigir a fratura no tornozelo, os
      sinais vitais do utente, incluindo a pressão arterial, com leitura de
      120/87 mmHg, a frequência cardíaca, de 80 batimentos por minuto, e SpO2 a
      98%, foram monitorizados. Após a cirurgia o utente apresentava  dor
      intensa no local e inchaço no tornozelo, mas os resultados dos exames de
      radiografia revelaram uma recuperação satisfatória.

MediAlbertina

The first publicly available medical language model trained with real European Portuguese data.

MediAlbertina is a family of encoders from the Bert family, DeBERTaV2-based, resulting from the continuation of the pre-training of PORTULAN's Albertina models with Electronic Medical Records shared by Portugal's largest public hospital.

Like its antecessors, MediAlbertina models are distributed under the MIT license.

Model Description

MediAlbertina PT-PT 900M NER all was created through fine-tuning of MediAlbertina PT-PT 900M on real European Portuguese EMRs that have been hand-annotated for the following entities:

• Diagnostico (D): All types of diseases and conditions following the ICD-10-CM guidelines.
• Sintoma (S): Any complaints or evidence from healthcare professionals indicating that a patient is experiencing a medical condition.
• Medicamento (M): Something that is administrated to the patient (through any route), including drugs, specific food/drink, vitamins, or blood for transfusion.
• Dosagem (D): Dosage and frequency of medication administration.
• ProcedimentoMedico (PM): Anything healthcare professionals do related to patients, including exams, moving patients, administering something, or even surgeries.
• SinalVital (SV): Quantifiable indicators in a patient that can be measured, always associated with a specific result. Examples include cholesterol levels, diuresis, weight, or glycaemia.
• Resultado (R): Results can be associated with Medical Procedures and Vital Signs. It can be a numerical value if something was measured (e.g., the value associated with blood pressure) or a descriptor to indicate the result (e.g., positive/negative, functional).
• Progresso (P): Describes the progress of patient’s condition. Typically, it includes verbs like improving, evolving, or regressing and mentions to patient’s stability.

MediAlbertina PT-PT 900M NER all achieved superior results to the same adaptation made on a non-medical Portuguese language model, demonstrating the effectiveness of this domain adaptation, and its potential for medical AI in Portugal.

Data

MediAlbertina PT-PT 900M NER all was fine-tuned on about 10k hand-annotated medical entities from about 4k fully anonymized medical sentences from Portugal's largest public hospital. This data was acquired under the framework of the FCT project DSAIPA/AI/0122/2020 AIMHealth-Mobile Applications Based on Artificial Intelligence.

How to use

from transformers import pipeline

ner_pipeline = pipeline('ner', model='portugueseNLP/medialbertina_pt-pt_900m_NER_all', aggregation_strategy='average')
sentence = 'Durante o procedimento endoscópico, foram encontrados pólipos no cólon do paciente.'
entities = ner_pipeline(sentence)
for entity in entities:
    print(f"{entity['entity_group']} - {sentence[entity['start']:entity['end']]}")
