Hi Stas, Conditions in Health map to the CCR "Problems" section, which can contain diseases and symptoms. Health follows this convention, and displays diseases and symptoms in the same area, conditions. You can differentiate symptoms from diseases using their ICD-9 codes, however. ICD-9 symptom codes begin with 780-789.
We presently don't have vocabulary services for listing the diseases names or ICD-9 codes that Health supports; although, there are other web sites/services where ICD-9 codes can be looked up. If you'd like to ensure that Health supports the codes for specific diseases, the best way to get the codes is to add the diseases to your profile using the UI, and then retrieve your record via the API. The codes will be in the returned CCR document. If you send a problem to Health with a recognized code, you don't need to send the disease's name; Health will use the name associated with the code. If you send both a name and a code, the name sent will override the name the Health has. You can also send a problem with a name but without a code; however, this limits the usefulness of the data and isn't preferred. Finally, if you'd like to send a disease with a code that Health either doesn't support or you're unsure if Health supports, Health will retain the code for future use. In this case, you should send a name as well. There's an example of a CCR document with a condition at the following address: http://code.google.com/p/googlehealthsamples/source/browse/trunk/CCR_samples/post_condition.xml Lots of question; I hope I covered them all! If not, let us know! Cheers! Paul (Google) On May 26, 1:14 pm, Stas Lam <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello. > 1.Can you answer what is the difference between conditions and > symptoms?
