Extract Data from Documents Using Amazon Comprehend

Medical offices get hundreds of letters and documents everyday that need to be scanned and added to patient’s medical records. This process is time consuming because the medical staff has to upload the scanned document and manually search for the patient in the database to add it to their file. In order to expedite this process, Aprima Comprehend wishes to, in one seamless application, extract text from these scanned letters, categorize any medical information, and export the data. With the use of Optical Character Recognition through AWS Textract and Natural Language Processing through AWS Comprehend Medical, the efficiency of medical offices will be increased.
