Basic Usage Example

import langextract

# Initialize LangExtract for clinical text processing
extractor = langextract.MedicalExtractor(
    model="gemini-pro",
    domain="clinical_notes"
)

# Extract structured data from clinical text
clinical_text = """
Patient presents with chest pain and shortness of breath.
Physical exam reveals elevated blood pressure 140/90.
Recommended cardiac workup including ECG and troponin levels.
"""

# Define extraction schema
schema = {
    "symptoms": ["chest pain", "shortness of breath"],
    "vital_signs": {"blood_pressure": "140/90"},
    "recommendations": ["cardiac workup", "ECG", "troponin levels"]
}

# Perform extraction
results = extractor.extract(clinical_text, schema)
print(results.structured_data)
print(results.source_mapping)
