Overview

The node provides an operation to process health card documents using AI. It accepts a health card file in various input formats and processes it to extract or analyze relevant information. This is useful in healthcare automation workflows where digital health cards need to be interpreted, validated, or integrated into other systems.

Practical examples include:

  • Extracting patient data from scanned health cards.
  • Validating the authenticity of a health card document.
  • Automating data entry by processing uploaded health card images or files.

Properties

Name Meaning
Input Data Type Choose how to provide the health card document to process. Options: Binary Data, Base64 String, URL
Input Binary Field (If Binary Data selected) Name of the binary property containing the health card file
Base64 Health Card Content (If Base64 String selected) Provide the health card content as a base64 encoded string
Health Card URL (If URL selected) Provide the URL to the health card file to process
Health Card Name Name of the source health card file for reference

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the processed results of the health card document. The exact structure depends on the AI processing but typically includes extracted fields, metadata, or validation results related to the health card.

If the input was binary or URL-based, the output JSON will contain the processed data extracted from that source. No explicit binary output is indicated, so the output is primarily structured JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to an AI-powered service capable of processing health card documents.
  • Needs proper API authentication configured in n8n to connect to this external AI service.
  • Network access to fetch health card files if provided via URL.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Incorrect input data type selection leading to missing or invalid input data.
    • Invalid or inaccessible URLs when providing health card via URL.
    • Malformed base64 strings causing decoding errors.
    • Missing binary data in the specified binary field.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors related to file fetching or decoding usually indicate problems with the input data or connectivity.
    • Authentication errors suggest misconfigured API credentials.
    • Processing errors may occur if the health card format is unsupported or corrupted.
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the input data matches the selected input type.
    • Ensure URLs are accessible and point directly to valid health card files.
    • Confirm base64 strings are correctly encoded without extra characters.
    • Check API credentials and permissions.
    • Validate the health card file integrity before processing.
