Documents

Why upload documents

MedInsight automatically extracts from discharge notes:

• diagnoses;
• prescribed medications;
• text for AI predictions.

Without documents, predictions will be less accurate.

Supported formats

Format	Extension
PDF	.pdf
Word	.docx

Upload from the dashboard

1. On the Dashboard, click Upload document.
2. Select a patient from the list.
3. Choose document type: discharge, laboratory, medical history.
4. Select a file or drag and drop it.
5. Click Upload.

What happens after upload

1. The file is encrypted and saved on the server.
2. Celery queues a parsing task (usually a few seconds).
3. Document status changes: uploaded → processing → parsed.
4. When ready, a notification arrives (WebSocket / Telegram, if configured).

Viewing parsing results

1. Open the patient record.
2. In the documents table, find the file.
3. Status parsed means extraction is complete.

Extracted data is used on the dashboard (top diagnoses/medications) and in predictions.

Downloading the original

Via API (for integrators): GET /api/documents/{id}/download — decryption happens in memory; the file is not written to disk in plaintext.

Security

• Documents are stored encrypted (age).
• Access only for users in your clinic with permission to view the patient.
• All uploads are recorded in the audit log.
