🎯 Quick Start

Basic Usage

from app.services.nlp_pipeline import MedicalNLPPipeline

# Initialize pipeline
nlp = MedicalNLPPipeline()

# Process text
text = "Patient John Doe, 45 years old, presents with diabetes and hypertension"
result = nlp.process_text(text)

# Access results
print(result["entities"])  # Extracted entities
print(result["intent"])    # Classified intent

API Integration

from fastapi import FastAPI
from app.services.nlp_pipeline import MedicalNLPPipeline

app = FastAPI()
nlp = MedicalNLPPipeline()

@app.post("/process")
async def process_text(text: str):
    return nlp.process_text(text)

Assign medication Methotrexate 1000mg weekly for Michael Chen
Schedule follow-up for Michael Chen in 2 weeks

3. Non-existent Medication

Add a new patient Emily Wilson, female, 28 years old, with migraine
Assign medication SuperPainAway 250mg for Emily Wilson
Book appointment for Emily Wilson tomorrow morning

4. Missing Frequency

Add a new patient Robert Brown, male, 61 years old, with high cholesterol
