The Complete Guide to Medical AI Data Labeling in 2026

Text Annotation for NLP

NLP, named entity recognition, LLMs, and other AI methods generate insights from both structured and unstructured data stored as text.

Our annotation platform can quickly tag thousands of text strings, conversations, paragraphs, and more, organizing large volumes of text data for AI applications.

Use cases

Unstructured clinical notes

Tag conditions and severity. Identify drugs prescribed. Tag symptoms after a drug protocol begins, and challenges patient experiences related to adherence.

Scientific literature

Classifying research citations and determining drug-target relationships in pharmacological literature.

Chatbot messages

Tag words and phrases that communicate intent, the severity of the patient condition, and act with appropriate urgency. Identify tone and sentiment to offer suggestions and improve experience.

Insurance claims

Identify interventions to contextualize and rationalize most recent intervention. Tag payouts and procedures from past claims. Identify prescribing behavior of HCPs.

Social media

Tag medical misinformation. Identify sentiment and symptoms shared when patients discuss a medication in a public forum.
