    # Analyze an image
    image = load_medical_image("patient_xray.jpg")
    symptoms = "Douleur thoracique, essoufflement"
    
    # Assisted diagnosis
    diagnosis = assistant.assist_diagnosis(image, symptoms)
    
    # Report generation
    report = generate_report(diagnosis)
    
    return report

2. Monitoring System

def patient_monitoring_system():
    monitor = PatientMonitor()
    
    # Patient data
    patient_data = load_patient_data("patient_id")
    recent_records = load_recent_records("patient_id")
    
    # Analysis and monitoring
    monitoring_results = monitor.monitor_patient(
        patient_data, 
        recent_records
    )
    
    # Alert generation
    alerts = generate_alerts(monitoring_results)
    
    return monitoring_results, alerts

Usage Recommendations

1. For Diagnosis

   • Validate results with experts
   • Maintain a history of decisions
   • Document edge cases

2. For Monitoring

   • Set up alerts
   • Track trends
   • Adjust thresholds

3. For Integration

   • Comply with medical standards
   • Ensure data security
   • Maintain traceability
