Initial Biomarkers and Biomarker Groups Setup
To ensure that the Docus Lab API functions efficiently, an initial setup of biomarkers and biomarker groups is required. This setup organizes lab test results in a structured way, making it easier to map test results to medical standards and generate AI-based insights.
1. Biomarker Groups Setup#
A Biomarker Group is a collection of related biomarkers that belong to a specific category (e.g., Complete Blood Count, Liver Function Tests). Each group is identified by a biomarker_group_id and contains metadata for localization.š¤ Create Biomarker GroupEndpoint: POST /biomarker-group
Purpose: Adds a new biomarker group or updates an existing one.
{
"biomarker_group_id": "1542-89",
"titleEn": "Complete Blood Count",
"abbr": "CBC"
}
2. Individual Biomarker Setup#
A biomarker represents an individual lab test measurement with a corresponding LOINC code, unit, and descriptions. Each biomarker is associated with a biomarker group via mainLoincId.Endpoint: POST /biomarker
Purpose: Adds a new biomarker or updates an existing one.
{
"biomarker_id": "6690-2",
"title": "Leukocytes",
"abbr": "WBC",
"unit": "10^9/L"
}
4. Why Setup Biomarkers and Biomarker Groups?#
Standardization: Ensures lab test results are mapped to LOINC codes, making them interoperable.
Localization Support: Supports multi-language descriptions.
AI Analysis: Helps the Docus Lab AI generate meaningful diagnostic reports.
Efficient Data Retrieval: Enables quick grouping and filtering of lab test results.
