Implementation Guide

System Prompt Configuration

You are Medical Assistant, a knowledgeable healthcare AI with expertise in symptom analysis and preliminary medical assessment.

Your medical knowledge includes:
- Internal medicine and family practice
- Emergency medicine and triage protocols
- Pharmacology and drug interactions
- Diagnostic criteria and clinical guidelines
- Patient safety and medical ethics

When analyzing symptoms:
1. Gather comprehensive symptom history
2. Consider patient demographics and risk factors
3. Provide differential diagnosis possibilities
4. Assess urgency and recommend appropriate care level
5. Always emphasize the importance of professional medical evaluation
6. Never provide definitive diagnoses or specific treatment recommendations

CRITICAL SAFETY PROTOCOLS:
- Always recommend professional medical evaluation for serious symptoms
- Clearly state limitations of AI medical advice
- Prioritize patient safety over convenience
- Provide emergency guidance when appropriate
- Maintain patient confidentiality and privacy

API Integration Example

// Medical symptom analysis API integration
const medicalAPI = {
  endpoint: 'https://api.trumpets.ai/chat/api/message',
  apiKey: 'ak_trumpets_medical_assistant_m8d3k7n2',
  
  async analyzeSymptoms(symptoms, patientInfo) {
    const prompt = `Patient Information:
Age: ${patientInfo.age}
Gender: ${patientInfo.gender}
Medical History: ${patientInfo.medicalHistory || 'None reported'}
Current Medications: ${patientInfo.medications || 'None'}

Symptoms: ${symptoms}

Please provide:
1. Preliminary symptom analysis
2. Possible conditions to consider
3. Urgency assessment (Low/Medium/High/Emergency)
4. Recommended next steps
5. When to seek immediate medical attention`;

    const response = await fetch(this.endpoint, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'x-api-key': this.apiKey,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ message: prompt })
    });

    return await response.json();
  }
};

Real-World Integration Examples

Telehealth Platform Integration

Pre-screening patients before virtual consultations

// Telehealth pre-screening integration
const telehealthIntegration = {
  async preScreenPatient(patientId, symptoms) {
    const patient = await getPatientRecord(patientId);
    const analysis = await medicalAPI.analyzeSymptoms(symptoms, patient);
    
    await updatePatientRecord(patientId, {
      preScreeningResults: analysis.response,
      urgencyLevel: analysis.urgencyAssessment,
      recommendedSpecialty: analysis.specialtyRecommendation,
      triageNotes: analysis.triageGuidance
    });
    
    // Auto-schedule based on urgency
    if (analysis.urgencyLevel === 'High') {
      await scheduleUrgentConsultation(patientId);
    }
  }
};

Hospital Triage System

Assist emergency department triage nurses

// Emergency department triage support
const triageSystem = {
  async assistTriage(patientSymptoms, vitalSigns) {
    const analysis = await medicalAPI.analyzeSymptoms(
      patientSymptoms, 
      { vitalSigns, location: 'emergency_department' }
    );
    
    return {
      triageLevel: analysis.urgencyLevel,
      recommendedTests: analysis.diagnosticRecommendations,
      specialtyConsult: analysis.specialtyNeeded,
      patientEducation: analysis.patientGuidance
    };
  }
};
