Documentation
Meducate API provides structured, consistent, and up-to-date educational medical information through a simple, developer-friendly API.
What the Medical Data API Provides
Meducate aggregates medical reference data from external providers and processes it using large language models (LLMs). This data is normalised and structured into predictable formats with ICD-10 standardized categorization that can be reliably consumed by applications.
All health topics are classified by type (Disease, Drug, Procedure, etc.) and assigned to standardized medical categories based on ICD-10 chapters—such as Respiratory System, Circulatory System, Mental & Behavioral, and more—ensuring consistent, industry-standard medical classification across all data.
To ensure information remains current, all source data is reprocessed and summarised daily using automated background jobs.
