Normalization of medical terms

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• accessing a medical term from an electronic health record that is stored on a user device;
• indexing the medical term using a term base by at least:
• parsing the medical term to identify one or more medical data sections present in the medical term, each medical data section representing a constitute part of the medical term;
• assigning the one or more medical data sections to one or more medical categories of a plurality of medical categories represented in the term base, each medical category including a logical grouping of the medical data sections;
• and
• assembling a medical term expression including one or more expression primitives based at least in part on information associated with the one or more medical categories, the medical term expression useable for generating a uniform medical term corresponding to the medical term, and the medical term expression comprising a concatenation of the one or more expression primitives;
• and
• storing the medical term expression on the user device.

A user device, comprising:

• a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to at least:
• access a medical term from an electronic health record;
• index the medical term using a term base by at least:
• parsing the medical term to identify one or more medical data sections present in the medical term, each medical data section representing a constitute part of the medical term;
• assigning the one or more medical data sections to one or more medical categories of a plurality of medical categories represented in the term base, each medical category including a logical grouping of the medical data sections;
• and
• assembling a medical term expression including one or more expression primitives based at least in part on information associated with the one or more medical categories, the medical term expression useable for generating a uniform medical term corresponding to the medical term, and the medical term expression comprising a concatenation of the one or more expression primitives;
• and
• store the medical term expression on the user device.
