📊 The Brim API

The Brim API allows you to incorporate Brim as part of an ongoing pipeline - enabling you to streamline clinical workflows or create an automatically-updating dataset. You can use the API to upload incremental data, update existing data, and run generations - all without manual intervention.

You can find more about how to use the Brim API here.

👉Inter-variable Referencing

Brim users are doing some really complex chart abstraction tasks, and we’ve added the capability to build even smarter logic into your projects. Now, in addition to using raw text, a variable can also use the value of other variables when determining its value.

When do you use this? One situation is when a variable should only be abstracted based on the value of another variable. For example, a cancer_progression variable should default to "N/A" if the patient doesn't have cancer. With inter-variable referencing, you can make your has_cancer variable an input variable to cancer_progression, describe what you want in the instruction, and it'll happen automatically.

For more about how this works and how to use it, see our variable documentation.
