Search by symptom and receiving a list of consultation options (Java)
In this use case, the user searches by the patient’s symptoms and receives a list of consultation options. These options could be doctors, clinics / hospitals, diagnostic labs or pharmaceutical products.
Code snippets
Client calls the BAP server to trigger search:
@PostMapping("/healthcare_consultation/search_by_symptom")
public ResponseEntity searchBySymptom(
@RequestHeader HttpHeaders headers,
@RequestBody ClientSearchRequest request) {
var response = bapApplicationService.generateSearchRequest(request, headers);
return ResponseEntity.ok(response);
}
BAP server generates the protocol request body
/*

public Response generateSearchRequest(ClientSearchRequest request, HttpHeaders headers) {
var messageId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
// Check and create transaction id if not passed
var txnId = StringUtils.hasText(request.getTransactionId())
? request.getTransactionId()

var searchRequest = SearchRequest.builder()
.context(context)
.message(SearchMessage.builder()

return invokeSearch(searchRequest, headers);
}
}
BAP server calls protocol search to the network
public Response invokeSearch(SearchRequest request, HttpHeaders headers) {
// Call to look up function which returns the the public key and BPP/BG Endpoint to be called
var url = lookUp(headers);
//Call BPP Search api
var searchResponse = apiClient.post(url[0] + Context.ActionEnum.search,
constructRequestHeaders(),
request,
Response.class);
if (responseEntity.getBody() == null || responseEntity.getBody().getError() != null ||
"NACK".equals(responseEntity.getBody().getMessage().getAck().getStatus())) {
// Return custom error to the client
return null;
}
return searchResponse.getBody();
}
BAP receives protocol on_search
