Abstract:
A method, a processing device, and a computer program product are provided. Unstructured text may be analyzed to identify medical condition information of multiple occurrences of a medical condition for at least one subject. Times and geographic locations corresponding to the multiple occurrences of the medical condition may be obtained. Environmental information that corresponds to the times and the geographic locations of the multiple medical condition occurrences, may be retrieved. Correlations between the medical condition information and the retrieved environmental information for the at least one subject may be determined. Environmental factors affecting the medical condition, based on the determined correlations, are identified.
