Severity measure
Although severity measure is a quotidian way of speaking about the output of the device, keep in mind that what the device outputs is an quantifiable data on the intensity, count and extent of clinical signs such as erythema, desquamation, and induration, among others.
Indeed, healthcare practitioners and organisations may use the data outputed by the device to determine the degree of affectation of a patient, but what the device itself outputs is not the severity. This is appropiately signaled in the output of the device, which follows the FHIR standard when noting that the output is a DiagnosticReport, with a status of preliminary.

Body Request
If you need to analyze an image whose known condition is atopic dermatitis, you can send a follow up request to the API.
An example of the body of the request can be the following:
{
"requestId": "90925097-820b-403d-a75d-4cd989903df1",
"data": {

This is the description of the relevant properties of the body request:
bodySiteis the body site code identifying the zone where the photo was taken. You can find the available list with all the admitted codes here.knownConditionForThisImageis set to the codeAtopic dermatitis, so the API will run the specific algorithms related to this pathology.previousMediais not mandatory. It is an array with a set of the previous images of the analyzed condition. The AI algorithms use this information to calculate the final report.scoringSystemsis an array with the scoring systems to be calculated. For atopic dermatitis we support:ASCORAD_LOCAL, the automatic version of the SCORAD. You can read more here.SCORAD_LOCAL, the SCORAD scoring system calculated at local level.DLQI.
questionnaireResponse. See next section 😁
How to fill questionnaireResponse
The property questionnaireResponse must contain all the mandatory answers to each scoring system specified in the property scoringSystems.
For example, if you want the API to compute the DLQI, questionnaireResponse["DLQI"] must contain the ten values corresponding to the ten questions DLQI has.
Questionnaires for scoring systems
In the following snippet you will find the questionnaires related to each scoring system related to Atopic Dermatitis. If you want the AI calculate one of them, you must get from that info from the patient or the practitioner.

Version 2.1
What changed?
Nothing changed in regard to the severity measure. The only change is that, for the diagnostic support feature, you can now send multiple images of the same lesion.
Endpoint
https://ai.legit.health/v2/legit_health/severity_assessment
Body Request
The interaction with the API is the same as version 2.0.
Response
The response has been updated, but primarily in terms of the information provided. Specifically, version 2.1 does not include diagnostic support details in the output.
