API Introduction#

The GekkoVet API provides a powerful gateway to a scientifically validated dataset designed to enhance veterinary care. It offers programmatic access to tools that support diagnostics, treatment protocols, drug dosage calculations, and advanced case summarization, empowering developers to build custom applications and integrations for veterinary professionals.

At the core of the API is the comprehensive GekkoVet scientific dataset, meticulously structured, created and curated by veterinarians. This dataset forms the foundation for the API’s diagnostic features, medicines and treatments information tools and the drug dosage calculator, enabling users to integrate robust decision-support functionality into their systems. With these tools, developers can streamline workflows, allowing veterinarians to make data-driven decisions faster and more confidently.

A standout feature of the API is its suite of LLM-powered case summarization endpoints. These endpoints are designed for natural language processing (NLP) and can interpret free-text input in any language, making it simple to extract meaningful insights from unstructured data. Use cases include:

1. Symptom extraction: Parse free-text notes to identify potential symptoms and other findings such as laboratory results, aiding in diagnosis and data organization.
2. Case summarization: Extract key details such as symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments from existing patient records. Developers can leverage this functionality to create a unified user interface, combining summarized case information with the GekkoVet dataset for deeper insights into diseases and treatments.
3. Behavioral analytics: Analyze case summaries to uncover patterns in veterinary practices, such as common diagnoses for similar symptoms or treatment trends. This data can help optimize decision-making and identify the best practices.
