This project is the start of experiments in using LLMs to generate synthetic health data.
Currently, it uses the Gemini API to generate HTML discharge summaries.
The one shot experiment uses the PRSB example: https://theprsb.org/standards/edischargesummary/#examples
The PDF included in this repository is copyright of the PRSB.
No real data was used to make these examples and publically available models have been used.
- Set your Gemini API Key into the environment variable GEMINI_API_KEY
- Optionally, set the Gemini model you want to use into the environment variable GEMINI_MODEL. The default is gemini-2.5-flash-preview-04-17
- Optionally, set the number of documents you want to create into the environment variable NUM_OUTPUTS. The default is 10.
Run the zeroshot.py script to generate discharge summaries using a prompt which does not give an example. The prompt is harcdoded in the source file.
Run the oneshot.py script to generate discharge summaries using a prompt which gives a single example (the PRSB example). The prompt is harcdoded in the source file.
Example outputs are included in the outputs folder if you don't want to generate your own.
PDFs have been generated from the html using the script pdfify.sh in the outputs folder.
