Client

class ComprehendMedical.Client

A low-level client representing AWS Comprehend Medical (ComprehendMedical):

import boto3

client = boto3.client('comprehendmedical')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
detect_entities(**kwargs)

Inspects the clinical text for a variety of medical entities and returns specific information about them such as entity category, location, and confidence score on that information .

Parameters
Text (string) --

[REQUIRED]

A UTF-8 text string containing the clinical content being examined for entities. Each string must contain fewer than 20,000 bytes of characters.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --
    • Entities (list) --

      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 Comprehend Medical has in the detection and analysis. Attributes and traits of the entity are also returned.

      • (dict) --

        Provides information about an extracted medical entity.

        • Id (integer) --
