CRATE: clinical records anonymisation and text extraction
Project description
Purpose
Create and use de-identified databases for research.
Anonymises relational databases.
Extracts and de-identifies text from associated binary files.
Performs some specific preprocessing tasks; e.g.
preprocesses some specific databases (e.g. Servelec RiO EMR);
drafts a “data dictionary” for anonymisation, with special knowledge of some databases (e.g. TPP SystmOne);
fetches some word lists, e.g. forenames/surnames/eponyms.
Provides tools to link databases, including via Bayesian personal identity matching, in identifiable or de-identified fashion.
Provides a natural language processing (NLP) pipeline, including built-in NLP, support for external tools, and client/server support for the Natural Language Processing Request Protocol (NLPRP).
Web app for
querying the anonymised database;
providing a de-identification API;
managing a consent-to-contact process.
