Direct Clinical Applications of Natural Language Processing in Common Neurological Disorders: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Natural language processing (NLP), a branch of artificial intelligence that analyzes unstructured language, is being increasingly used in health care. However, the extent to which NLP has been formally studied in neurological disorders remains unclear.

Objective

We sought to characterize studies that applied NLP to the diagnosis, prediction, or treatment of common neurological disorders.

Methods

This review followed the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) standards. The search was conducted using MEDLINE and Embase on May 11, 2022. Studies of NLP use in migraine, Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, stroke and transient ischemic attack, epilepsy, or multiple sclerosis were included.
