Sahl AI Integration Guide for EHR Developers

If you're developing an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system and looking to integrate with Sahl AI, you can choose from two primary integration methods:

  1. Frontend Integration
  2. Backend Integration

Each method offers distinct advantages and is suitable for different use cases. Below, we detail each approach to help you choose the best fit for your EHR system.

1. Frontend Integration

Suitable for:

  • Web-based EHRs
  • Proof-of-concept implementations
  • Simple integrations with minimal setup

Key benefits:

  • Quick and straightforward implementation
  • No need to set up the Sahl AI API
  • Ability to leverage existing Sahl AI UI components

Integration methods:

a) Browser Extension:

  • Install the Sahl AI Chrome extension
  • The extension adds AI capabilities directly to your EHR interface

b) Iframe Embedding:

  • Embed integration.sahl.ai as an iframe within your EHR
  • Customize the UI to match your EHR's look and feel

Data Export:

  • Sahl AI Iframe will export generated summary and structured information via JavaScript
  • Your EHR should listen for window events to receive and process the exported data

Example code for handling exported data:

window.addEventListener("message", function (event) {
  if (event.origin !== "https://integration.sahl.ai") return

  const data = event.data
  if (data.type === "sahl-ai-export") {
    // Process the exported data
    document.getElementById("note-field").value = data.summary.note
    document.getElementById("diagnosis-field").value = data.summary.diagnosis
    // Add more fields as needed
  }
})

Sample Data

The data is structured as an array of objects. Each object contains a title and a body, where the body is an array of strings that detail the summarized information:

{
  "summary": [
    {
      "title": "Chief Complaint",
      "body": ["54-year-old patient experiencing difficulty walking."]
    },
    {
      "title": "History of Presentation",
      "body": [
        "- Patient reports trouble with walking.",
        "- No additional details on duration, timing, location, quality, severity, context, or factors affecting symptoms provided."
      ]
    }
  ]
}

2. Backend Integration

Suitable for:

  • All types of EHRs, including mobile applications
  • Deep UI integration requirements
  • Highly customized implementations

Key benefits:

  • Full control over the user interface
  • Seamless integration with existing workflows
  • Enhanced data security and privacy controls

Integration method:

  • Server-side integration using Sahl AI APIs

Implementation steps:

  1. Obtain user credentials from Sahl AI
  2. Set up secure server-to-server communication
  3. Implement API calls to Sahl AI services
  4. Process and display results within your EHR interface
