PREDICTIVE SYSTEM FOR GENERATING CLINICAL QUERIES

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating a predictive system that obtains and processes data describing terms for different medical concepts to generate commands from a user query. An entity module of the system determines whether a term describes a medical entity associated with a healthcare condition affecting an individual. When the term describes the medical entity an encoding module links the medical entity with a specified category based on an encoding scheme. The system receives the user query. A parsing engine of the system uses the received query to generate a machine-readable command by parsing the query against terms that describe the medical entity and based on the encoding scheme for linking the medical entity to the specified category. The system uses the command to query different databases to obtain data for generating a response to the received query.
