AWS Comprehend Medical

2019/12/16 - AWS Comprehend Medical - 2 new api methods

Changes  New Ontology linking APIs will provides medication concepts normalization and Diagnoses codes from input text. In this release we will provide two APIs - RxNorm and ICD10-CM.

InferRxNorm (new) Link ¶

InferRxNorm detects medications as entities listed in a patient record and links to the normalized concept identifiers in the RxNorm database from the National Library of Medicine.

      • (dict) --

        The collection of medical entities extracted from the input text and their associated information. For each entity, the response provides the entity text, the entity category, where the entity text begins and ends, and the level of confidence that Amazon Comprehend Medical has in the detection and analysis. Attributes and traits of the entity are also returned.

        • Id (integer) --
