Description
With the advent and dissemination of new media platforms such as audio-based Amazon Alexa, there is growing need to transfer current visual-based information into audio-based information by making it relevant, brief and still easy-to-understand. In this study, we used Textrank algorithm to summarize patient education documents. We first identified sections within each document and apply the algorithm on each section separately. We evaluated our summarization results against manually summarized documents with ROUGE-N metric (40 documents). Average ROUGE F-score for Disease Condition document summarization is 0.454 and average ROUGE F-score for Test Procedure document summarization is 0.413.
