Apache cTakes is widely used to handle unstructured text data. It is open-source and highly scalable. One can easily integrate this with widely used programming languages like Java and Python.

We needed to use Natural Langugage Processing System to extract data present in text format. Also, we needed software that is reliable and highly scalable. Hence we have chosen Apache cTakes as we mainly needed to integrate it with Java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Medical natural language processing. Better if cTakes gives reliable and ease of use APIs that replace FHIR and HL7 which are more customized by respective orgs. cTakes can think of better API or platform than HL7 or FHIR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
