Sydney's Health Language Analytics (HLA) took out the Premier’s award for public sector innovation at the NSW iAwards last week for its Horizon clinical natural language processing (NLP) technology, which has been deployed at the NSW Cancer Institute, the Sydney Adventist Hospital and by the Melbourne East General Practice Network (MEGPN).

Horizon is also being used by the California Cancer Registry to separate reportable pathology reports from non-pathology reports and extract clinical concepts from unstructured text.
