emtelligent Documentation
emtelligent provides a set of APIs for working with unstructured clinical documents. Each one is complete in itself: use a single API for a specific job, or combine several as your requirements grow.
Make documents machine-readable, preserving tables and layout — PDFs, images and multi-page TIFFs, with reading order intact.
Break a large bundle into its constituent documents, classify them against a document-type ontology, OCR and extract metadata.
Code and structure data from clinical documents: medical terms, assertions and relationships, mapped to standard ontologies.
Run complex, multi-step extraction pipelines, including cross-document data aggregation, returning structured clinical data.
Choosing an API
How the APIs relate
Every API can be called directly. Some also use others internally, so you do not have to coordinate the pieces yourself:
- The Prep API uses the OCR API behind the scenes, so documents are made machine-readable as part of splitting and classification.
- The Extract API orchestrates all of our pipelines as needed, returning structured clinical data without your having to run those stages yourself.
There is more than one route to the same outcome. If you want coded clinical data out of a set of documents, the Extract API will do it end to end. If you need control over an individual stage, or only need one of them, call that API directly.
Getting started
Each API’s overview covers what it does, its inputs and outputs, and how a request works. Beyond that:
