HealthCare Service

This sample demonstrates a service for recommending dosage for a patient through the use of business rules.

Note

Before executing this sample, it is recommended that you refer to section Exposing Rules as Services which explains in detail the process of writing and deploying a business rule.

Sample Rule Definition

Rules

Rule 1 : If the recommended medication is one of Amoxicillin, Cefuroxime, and Levofloxacin, and if the patient is older than 15 or younger than 60 years, 500mg every 24 hours for 14 days.

Rule 2 : If the recommended medication is one of Amoxicillin, Cefuroxime, and Levofloxacin, and if the patient is older than 15 or younger than 60 years, and is the patient's Creatinine Level is 1.5, then 250 mg every 24 hours for 14 days.

Facts

There is one fact and a result - patient and dosage.

package samples.heathcare;

/**
 * Patient
 */
public class Patient {

    private String medication;

    private int age;

    private double creatinineLevel;

    public String getMedication() {
        return medication;
    }

    public void setMedication(String medication) {
        this.medication = medication;
    }

    public int getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public void setAge(int age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    public double getCreatinineLevel() {
        return creatinineLevel;
    }

    public void setCreatinineLevel(double creatinineLevel) {
        this.creatinineLevel = creatinineLevel;
    }
}

package samples.heathcare;

/**
 * Dose
 */
public class Dose {

    private String message;

    public String getMessage() {
        return message;
    }

    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }
}

Rule Service Configuration (service.rsl)

An in-line rule set is used within the service.rsl file as follows.

<ruleService
        name="HealthCareService"
        xmlns="http://wso2.org/carbon/rules"
        targetNamespace="http://com.test/HeathCareService">
    <ruleSet>
        <rule resourceType="regular" sourceType="inline">

                rule "Rule one" no-loop true

                    Patient( ( medication in ( "Amoxicillin", "Cefuroxime", "Levofloxacin" ) ) && ( ( age  > 16 ) && ( age < 60 ) ) && ( creatinineLevel == 0 )  )
                then
                    Dose msg = new Dose();
                    msg.setMessage("500 mg every 24 hours for 14 days");
                    insertLogical(msg);
                end

                rule "Rule two" no-loop true

                    Patient( ( medication in ( "Amoxicillin", "Cefuroxime", "Levofloxacin" ) ) && ( ( age  > 16) && ( age < 60 ) ) && ( ( creatinineLevel > 0 ) &&  ( creatinineLevel < 1.5 ) ) )
                then
                    Dose msg = new Dose();
                    msg.setMessage("250 mg every 24 hours for 14 days");
                    insertLogical(msg);

Deploying and Testing the Service

1. Deploy the rule service through the BRS management console. You can follow either of the two methods:

Bundle all artifacts in an .aar file and upload it (Rule Service -> Upload menu).
Create using the Rule Service wizard UI (Rule Service -> Create menu).

The above steps are discussed in detail in section Exposing Rules as Services.

2. After deployment, the service will appear in the "Deployed Services" window of the BRS management console. Access the service's dashboard by clicking on it.

3. In the "Client Operations" widget of the dashboard, invoke the Try-it tool to test the service.

4. In the service's TryIt window, issue a request similar to the following.

<medication>Cefuroxime</medication>
<age>54</age>
<creatinineLevel>1.2</creatinineLevel>

Similarly, send another request:

<medication>Amoxicillin</medication> 
<age>20</age>

5. Alternatively, you can use code generation link in the "Client Operations" widget of the dashboard to invoke the service. A client using generated stub codes is shown below where the codes were generated with option "Unpacks the databinding classes".
