# MedAssist Agent

> MedAssist is a medical assistant agentic functionality that helps users communicate with our state of the art medical LLM for medical concerns and healthcare guidance.

## How it Works

MedAssist operates through a session-based approach:

1. **Session Creation**: Use your API key to create a new session
2. **WebSocket Connection**: Connect to the session via WebSocket for real-time communication
3. **Multi-format Communication**: Send text messages, audio, or files through the WebSocket connection

## Supported Content Types

* **Text Messages**: Direct text-based medical queries
* **Audio Messages**: Voice recordings for medical consultations
* **File Uploads**: Medical documents, images, or reports

## Authentication

All API requests require an `x-agent-id` header containing your API key. WebSocket connections use session tokens for authentication.

## Getting Started

1. Create a session using the [Create Session API](/api-reference/health-ai/medassist/create-session)
2. Connect to the WebSocket endpoint using the session ID
3. Authenticate with the session token
4. Start sending messages in your preferred format

For detailed implementation, see the individual API documentation pages.
