The NLP in healthcare and life sciences market size is expected to grow from USD 1,030.2 million in 2016 to USD 2,650.2 million by 2021, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 20.8% during the forecast period. In the report, 2015 is considered the base year while the forecast period is 2016–2021. The major growth driver for the Natural Language Processing (NLP) in healthcare and life sciences market includes huge surge in clinical data, increase in the use of connected devices, and evolving consumer needs.
NLP is branch of artificial intelligence primarily concerned with reducing human machine gap. In healthcare sector NLP is expected to be playing a crucial role. With the digital transformation of medicine, huge surge in clinical data and growing adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is expected to be driving the adoption of NLP in the healthcare industry. EMRs contain only 20% of structured information while the rest of the information is available as free text. Thus, with the help of NLP techniques, accuracy can be enhanced by capturing and classifying the rich information contained in free-text clinical narratives.
The NLP in healthcare and life sciences market is segmented by component (technology and service), type, application, deployment mode, and region. Among components, technology segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR, due to the demand for NLP technologies such as recognition, operational, and analytics technologies to enhance various processes.
In the services segment, professional services segment is the fastest growing segment as the professional service providers are focusing on delivering deep insights to assist in industrial interoperability, manage clinical data, and provide enhanced service experience to the patients.
Organizations in healthcare domain the are rapidly moving toward cloud based deployment of NLP technologies. The demand for cloud-based NLP technologies is increasing due to the numerous advantage offered by it, that include scalability, cost effectiveness, ease of use and simplified access.
Among region, North America is expected to be contributing largest in terms of revenue, for NLP technology vendors during the forecast period. This is because majority of initiatives done for NLP technologies have their origin in the region. The APAC region is expected to grow at the fastest rate, as majority of healthcare organizations are seeking the benefits of NLP technologies, that will help them provide personalized customer experience and process efficiency.
Rule Based NLP is one of the methods used for extracting coded segments by applied human developed rules. It is a knowledge based approach which analyses the linguistic phenomena. The technique performs lexical analysis which evaluates language and the set of data based on human rules. Rule based NLP is useful during the automation of the business processes. The rule based NLP is beneficial for satisfying the changing requirements of the healthcare industry. Moreover, with the introduction of ICD-10 coding, healthcare organizations must implement rules according to this code, which can be deployed with the help of rule based NLP.
The statistical based NLP approach provides better output when large volume of data is involved. Also, with the huge volume availability of text to speech corpora, this technique has shown remarkable success in last few years. The technique works by taking generated data according to unknown probability distribution and creating inferences, it thereby uses statistical probability distribution algorithm as well as inferences to produce desired results. Statistical based NLP is playing a crucial role in healthcare sector, as it is assisting the medical professionals and researchers in analyzing trends and patterns from the unstructured clinical data.
This approach combines statistical based NLP and rule based NLP. To provide better results, this technique uses both the methods. This approach is becoming useful in various applications that include eCRM, sentiment analysis, report generation, as well as machine translation. Wide range of NLP systems are using both the approaches such as statistical as well as rule based model.
