Some of the recent projects that we have been involved in are listed below.
MedicinesComplete is a subscription service providing online access to some of the world's leading drug and healthcare references.CBCL's technology is used to manage the large amounts of XML data which make up the publications. Our work in the areas of ontology construction and information retrieval facilitate the searching of the text, alleviating problems caused by the great variety in medical nomenclature.
Launched in 2005, the British National Formulary for Children provides practical information on the use of medicines in children. It offers clinicians the familiar interface developed for the BNF.CBCL's fault-tolerant infrastructure allows this invaluable source to be available reliably at the point of care. Our search technology allows prescribers to check for adverse drug reactions.
The British National Formulary is the essential prescribing guide for doctors in the UK and beyond. The BNF aims to provide prescribers, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals with sound up-to-date information about the use of medicines.
Work is ongoing to link this resource to the UK's National Health Service dictionary of medicines and devices. CBCL provides the publishers with editorial tools to enable this integration.
