Abstract
There is a well-known terminology disparity between laypeople and health professionals. Using the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS), this study explores an exploratory study on the terminology usages of laypeople, focusing on diabetes. We explain the analysis pipeline of extracting laypeople’s medical terms and matching them to the existing medical controlled vocabulary system. The preliminary result shows the promise of using the UMLS and Tumblr data for such analysis.
