# OpenMed Blood Cancer NER 108M

`OpenMed/OpenMed-NER-BloodCancerDetect-BioPatient-108M-v1-onnx-android`

**A 108M BERT model for extracting blood cancer mentions in English clinical and biomedical text.**  
Runs locally after download on Python CPU, in the browser, and on Android.

## Model

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Task | Blood cancer named-entity recognition |
| Language | English |
| Architecture | BERT |
| Parameters | 108M (108,000,000) |
| Maximum sequence length | 512 tokens |
| Entity labels | `CL` |
| Source model | [`OpenMed/OpenMed-NER-BloodCancerDetect-BioPatient-108M`](https://huggingface.co/OpenMed/OpenMed-NER-BloodCancerDetect-BioPatient-108M) |
| License | apache-2.0 |

## OpenMed in Python on CPU

```bash
pip install --upgrade "openmed[onnx-runtime]"
```

```python
from openmed import OnnxModel

model = OnnxModel.from_pretrained("OpenMed/OpenMed-NER-BloodCancerDetect-BioPatient-108M-v1-onnx-android")
entities = model("The patient was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.")

for entity in entities:
    print(entity.to_dict())
```

OpenMed selects the CPU-oriented INT8 graph by default and returns labels, confidence scores, exact character offsets, and source text.

## OpenMed in Web

```bash
npm install openmed @huggingface/transformers onnxruntime-web
```

```typescript
import { loadOnnxModel } from "openmed";

const repo = "OpenMed/OpenMed-NER-BloodCancerDetect-BioPatient-108M-v1-onnx-android";
const model = await loadOnnxModel(repo);
const entities = await model("The patient was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.");
```

The default INT8 path runs with WebAssembly. For WebGPU, select the FP16 graph:

```typescript
const model = await loadOnnxModel(repo, {
  variant: "fp16",
  device: "webgpu",
});
```

## OpenMedKit for Android

Add JitPack to the consumer application's `settings.gradle.kts`:

```kotlin
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url = uri("https://jitpack.io")
            content { includeGroup("com.github.maziyarpanahi") }
        }
    }
}
```

Use the latest OpenMed build from the `master` branch:

```kotlin
dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.maziyarpanahi:openmed:master-SNAPSHOT")
}
```

After downloading this model repository into an app-controlled directory:

```kotlin
import com.openmed.openmedkit.OpenMedKit

OpenMedKit.fromDirectory(modelDirectory).use { model ->
    val entities = model.analyzeText("The patient was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.")
}
```

Inference and tokenization remain on-device.

## Included Artifacts

| Artifact | Recommended use |
|---|---|
| `model_int8.onnx` | CPU, WebAssembly, and Android default |
| `model_fp16.onnx` | WebGPU and compatible accelerated runtimes |
| `model.onnx` | Full-precision reference |
| `model.ort` | Custom ONNX Runtime Mobile integration |
| `tokenizer.json` | Cross-platform tokenizer |
| `openmed-onnx.json` | Runtime contract and operator metadata |

All graphs use opset 18, dynamic batch and sequence axes, stable tensor names, and source-text offset metadata.

## The OpenMed Ecosystem

This model is part of **OpenMed**, an Apache-2.0, local-first clinical AI stack:

- **2,000+ medical models** for clinical NER, biomedical extraction, and privacy.
- **PII detection and de-identification** across 55+ identifier types and 17 languages.
- **Python, MLX, Swift, Android, React Native, Web, REST, and gRPC** runtimes.
- **Structured and multimodal intake** for OCR, documents, DICOM, FHIR, and HL7.
- **Offline and air-gapped deployment** with no telemetry by default.

## Intended Use and Limitations

This model is intended for extracting blood cancer mentions. It does not diagnose conditions or make clinical decisions. Evaluate recall, thresholds, and span behavior on appropriately governed data before deployment. Local execution supports privacy-preserving workflows but does not by itself guarantee regulatory compliance.

All examples in this card are synthetic.
