*What to expect from this track*

DISTEMIST is the first track that focuses specifically on the automatic
detection of disease mentions and their normalization (SNOMED CT) in
Spanish clinical case documents. The DISTEMIST data was tested to develop
disease taggers previously applied to a diversity of medical records.

Disease mention detection systems have been implemented and used to process
a diversity of content types, including scientific publications, clinical
records, clinical trials, patient forums or social media, resulting in a
component integrated into a diversity of practically relevant application
types, such as:

Drug discovery, repurposing and off label indications

Disease outbreak monitoring/surveillance and epidemiology tools

Extraction of disease phenotype or comorbidities

Clinical coding of diagnosis

Occupational health studies

Pharmacogenomics
*Subtracks*    🏁

We foresee that participation in the DISTEMIST track will contribute to
generate resources that will improve the exploitation of clinical
unstructured data and thus unlock valuable health information, assist data
curation and facilitate quality evaluation and interpretability of disease
mention detection systems.

Inspired by previous initiatives (n2c2, BioCreative) and shared tasks
(CANTEMIST, PharmaCoNER, or CodiEsp), we are launching the DISTEMIST shared
task as part of the BioASQ 2022 evaluation initiative (co-located with CLEF
2022), with the following two sub-tracks:

DISTEMIST-Linking

*Finding mentions of diseases and normalizing them to their Snomed-CT
concept identifiers.*
*What's NEW!!   💥 (May 2022)*

We released    *multilingual resources *  to foster the development of
multilingual tools and generate systems not only for Spanish but also for
content in English and Romance languages (French, Portuguese,  Catalan ,
Italian and Romanian): DISTEMIST-English, DISTEMIST-Italian,
DISTEMIST-French, DISTEMIST-Portuguese, DISTEMIST-Catalan and
DISTEMIST-Romanian.
