Medical Triage

Classify medical messages into priority categories based on urgency indicators, symptoms, and patient context.

Categories

Icon	Category	Description
🔴	critical	Life-threatening symptoms, emergency keywords, severe pain
🟡	urgent	Needs same-day attention, worsening symptoms, medication issues
🟢	routine	Follow-ups, general questions, appointment requests

How It Works

This skill analyzes message content for:

• Emergency keywords: chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, etc.
• Symptom severity: pain scale, duration, progression
• Patient context: chronic conditions, medications, recent procedures
• Temporal urgency: "right now", "getting worse", "can't wait"

Input Format

The skill expects a JSON array of messages:

[
  {
    "id": "msg-123",
    "subject": "Chest pain",
    "from": "patient@example.com",
    "date": "2026-02-27T10:30:00Z",
    "body": "I've been having chest pain for the last hour..."
  }
]

Output Format

Returns a JSON array with triage results:

[
  {
    "id": "msg-123",
    "category": "critical",
    "reason": "Chest pain mentioned - potential cardiac emergency",
    "confidence": 0.95
  }
]
