چکیده
A i2b2-Pavia pilot project has been recently activated at the Headache Centre of the C. Mondino Institute of Neurology, in Pavia, with the aim of investigating Medical Overuse Headaches. The software infrastructure so far implemented automatically extracts and integrates data coming from different sources into a repository purposely designed for multidimensional inspection. A great effort has been devoted to train a Natural Language Processing system able to extract medical concepts from Italian clinical reports.
