-# Clinical Annotation Platform
+# PRAnCER
 
-A web platform to extract clinical entities from text.
+PRAnCER (Platform enabling Rapid Annotation for Clinical Entity Recognition) is a web platform that enables the rapid annotation of medical terms within clinical notes. A user can highlight spans of text and quickly map them to concepts in large vocabularies within a single, intuitive platform. Users can use the search and recommendation features to find labels without ever needing to leave the interface. Further, the platform can take in output from existing clinical concept extraction systems as pre-annotations, which users can accept or modify in a single click. These features allow users to focus their time and energy on harder examples instead. 
 
 ## Usage
 
+The clinical annotation platform operates by leveraging files derived from the UMLS. 
+
 ## Installation
 
 The platform requires **python3.7**, **node.js**, and several other python and javascript packages. Specific installation instructions for each follow!
