Diagnosis API Overview

Introduction

Diagnosis APIs are essential integrations that enhance hospital workflows by providing valuable diagnostic capabilities. These APIs empower healthcare organizations with rapid implementation of diagnostic tools, enabling them to improve patient care and decision-making processes.

Core Components of Diagnosis API

Diagnosis APIs typically consist of two primary components:

* Diagnostic Engine: Powered by AI, it analyzes patient data (e.g., demographics, symptoms, lab tests) and extracts clinical features from electronic health records. It links patient information to a knowledge base, providing preliminary diagnoses and care suggestions.
* Knowledge Base: Contains data on medical conditions, diseases, and treatments, enabling clinicians to make informed decisions and provide better patient information.

Usage of Diagnosis API

Postman provides a collection for testing the Diagnosis API:

* Symptoms: Represent patient symptoms using unique IDs (e.g., 164 for strong urine smell, 151 for frequent urination, 200 for yellow skin).
* Tests: Include test results from predefined tests (e.g., ALT, Amalyse, AST, Total Bilirubin, GT Chlamydia, Appearance Urine, ABO grouping).

By providing as many test results and symptoms as possible, you can enhance the accuracy of diagnoses. The collection includes endpoints and predefined requests that can be extended.

Benefits of Postman Collection for Diagnosis API

* Quick Testing: Allows you to test the API immediately.
* Convenience: Provides a predefined collection with symptoms and tests.
* Flexibility: Enables you to extend the collection based on your specific requirements.
