Abstract: |
Cognitive medical treatment recommendation mechanisms are provided. The mechanisms ingest a corpus of medical treatment content that comprises drug-to-drug interaction information. The mechanisms generate a set of drug interaction insight data structures and an initial set of candidate treatments for a medical condition of a patient based on an analysis of an electronic medical record associated with the patient. The mechanisms rank candidate treatments in the initial set of candidate treatments based on the set of drug interaction insight data structures to generate a final set of candidate treatments, where the ranking reduces rankings of candidate treatments in which drug interactions are identified in the set of drug interaction insight data structures. The mechanisms output a treatment recommendation based on the final set of candidate treatments. |
