This article presents a system description for our work as part of Task 5 of the SMM4H-HeaRD 2026 workshop. We fine-tune pretrained BERT and BiomedBERT models and further enhance them using custom feature augmentation techniques. Incorporating these engineered features results in improved performance, with the best model achieving a validation F1 score of 0.8419 and an evaluation phase F1 score of 0.753.
