Summarisation and visualisation of e-health data repositories

At the centre of the Clinical e-Science Framework (CLEF) project is a repository of well organised, detailed clinical histories, encoded as data that will be available for use in clinical care and in-silico medical experiments. We describe a system that we have developed as part of the CLEF project, to perform the task of generating a diverse range of textual and graphical summaries of a patient's clinical history from a data-encoded model, a chronicle, representing the record of the patient's medical history. Although the focus of our current work is on cancer patients, the approach we describe is generalisable to a wide ranue of medical areas. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download;jsessionid=4B204794F84D01C1C6D57323B6239848?doi=10.1.1.529.2286&rep=rep1&type=pdf
