AgentCare | Glama
Summary
Kartha-AI's 'Agent Care' connects with Electronic Medical Records (EMR) like Cerner and Epic through an MCP server. This enables access to medical resources using FHIR data, facilitating comprehensive clinical analysis.
Details
This system functions as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, providing an interface for AI agents such as Anthropic Claude Desktop and Goose Desktop. It integrates with major EMR platforms like Cerner and Epic by utilizing SMART on FHIR API and OAuth2 authentication. The available toolset includes extensive clinical data access capabilities based on the FHIR standard, such as 'patient search,' 'vital signs retrieval,' and checking 'conditions/medication history.' Furthermore, it links with medical research resources including PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and FDA, enabling comprehensive analysis like drug interaction checks and custom queries. Detailed configuration information for developers is provided for Cerner and Epic's OAuth authentication flows, covering technical specifics (Client ID/Secret, endpoint URLs) necessary for local testing and implementation. This demonstrates an example of implementing data linkage and advanced clinical decision support systems in AI-powered healthcare settings.
