POST Request Syntax

POST requests require JSON inputs and must include the header `Content-Type: application/json`.

# Authentication

The Diagnosis API utilizes a custom HTTP header, `AuthenticationID`, for authentication. Obtain your unique `AuthenticationID` after registering for a production order.

First Request

The primary endpoint for medical diagnostics is `/api/DDxItems/`. It accepts POST requests with the following required headers:

- `AuthenticationID` (e.g., "DEMO_AuthenticationID" for demo development)
- `Content-Type: application/json`

The request body should contain:

- A list of observed symptoms
- Laboratory test results (optional)

DDxHub API: Core Functionality

The DDxHub API supports the integration of medical diagnosis tools into hospital workflows. It performs the following tasks:

1. Knowledge Base: Contains data on conditions, diseases, and treatment procedures.
2. Diagnostic Engine: Analyzes patient data and extracts clinical features to generate a preliminary diagnosis and/or care suggestions.

Integration via APIs

Healthcare organizations can integrate diagnosis tools into their daily practice through APIs. These APIs provide access to knowledge bases and diagnostic engines, allowing for quick implementation of decision support tools for clinicians.
