Dear colleagues,
This 'free text analysis tool' is a commercial product that will analys
"free text".
Ontologies, archetypes are of importance to increase further its analysis
capabilities.
So I must disappoint you the tool is not free.
But the use of archetypes as being specified in OpenEHR are important.
