POST Request

After submitting a successful POST request, the Diagnosis API system will generate a list of potential health conditions. To ensure unique identification, users should provide their own unique IDs, as multiple users may be accessing the system simultaneously.

GET Request

To retrieve the generated list of diagnoses, make a GET request to the following endpoint:

```
https://diagnosisapi.azurewebsites.net/api/DDxItems/{ID}?AuthenticationID={authentication_id}
```

Replace `{ID}` with the unique ID provided with the POST statement. Replace `{authentication_id}` with your production-registered ID.

Diagnosis API Components

The Diagnosis API consists of two main components:

1. Knowledge Base

A continuously updated database of medical knowledge reviewed by healthcare professionals. It contains information on diseases, conditions, and treatment procedures.

2. Diagnostic Engine

An AI-powered system that analyzes patient data inputs (e.g., demographics, symptoms, lab tests) or extracts clinical features from electronic health records. It identifies a list of potential conditions (preliminary diagnosis), care suggestions (triage), or both.

Integration into Hospital Workflow

Diagnosis APIs can be integrated into hospital workflows to:

* Keep patients informed about potential causes of their symptoms
* Provide physicians with decision support
* Improve patient care by facilitating more accurate and timely diagnoses
* Reduce the workload of healthcare professionals

Additional Notes

The purpose of Diagnosis APIs is to enhance the efficiency of healthcare professionals, not replace them.
