Medical prescription data extraction

An image speaks more than a thousand words. Below is an example of the three steps our OCR engine takes to automatically capture data from medical prescriptions.

Uploading to the medical prescription OCR API

The first step is providing a picture or a PDF file of a medical prescription to our API. This is typically done from a mobile app or a web application.

The document can be sent cropped or uncropped (with background). If the scan is sent uncropped, the Klippa API will automatically crop the document. The Klippa medical prescription scanning SDK can also be used in mobile apps. 

Medical prescription image to text using OCR

As soon as a picture or PDF is received, it is converted to a TXT file by our engine. In this step all the text from the document is extracted, but not yet structured.

Getting JSON output from the API

The Klippa Parser takes the TXT gained from the OCR in step 2 and converts it into structured JSON using machine learning. The JSON is then returned as output from the API. From here the medical prescription can easily be processed into your database. Whether you are processing medical prescription for ordering medicines, replenish stock or other use cases, Klippa is here to help.
