HealTAC 2026 Workshop
HealTAC 2026 Workshop: From patient narratives to insights: applying text analytics to scalable lived experience data for new discoveries
How do we transform patient narrative data into actionable insights at scale? This interactive two-hour workshop will address how text analytics can be applied to lived experience data at scale. By bringing text analytics scientists together with behavioural scientists, qualitative researchers, people with relevant lived experiences (PERLEs), and other key stakeholders, we will go beyond analysing clinician-reported data to explore how transdisciplinary collaboration can unlock meaning from large amounts of patient-reported text data.
The session will follow the definition of research as a process of investigation leading to new insights that are effectively shared; participants will explore the opportunities, challenges and next steps required for the application of text analytics to patient voices at scale.
