```

### Three Ways to Use OpenMed

**1️⃣ Python API** — One-liner for scripts and notebooks

```python
from openmed import analyze_text

result = analyze_text(
    "Patient received 75mg clopidogrel for NSTEMI.",
    model_name="pharma_detection_superclinical"
)
```

**2️⃣ Interactive TUI** — Visual workbench for exploration

```bash
openmed  # Launch the TUI directly
```

**3️⃣ CLI Automation** — Batch processing for production

```bash
# Process a directory of clinical notes
openmed batch --input-dir ./notes --output results.json

# Use configuration profiles
openmed config profile-use prod
```

---

## Interactive Terminal Interface

The OpenMed TUI provides a full-featured workbench that runs in any terminal:

- Real-time entity extraction with `Ctrl+Enter`
- Color-coded entity highlighting
- Live configuration tuning (threshold, grouping, tokenization)
- Confidence visualization with progress bars
- Analysis history and export (JSON, CSV)
- Hot-swappable models and profiles
- File browser for batch analysis

```bash
# Launch with custom settings
openmed tui --model disease_detection_superclinical --confidence-threshold 0.7
```

## Advanced Usage

### PII Detection & De-identification (v0.5.0)

```python
from openmed import extract_pii, deidentify

# Extract PII entities with smart merging (default)
result = extract_pii(
    "Patient: John Doe, DOB: 01/15/1970, SSN: 123-45-6789",
    model_name="pii_detection_superclinical",
    use_smart_merging=True  # Prevents entity fragmentation
)

# De-identify with multiple methods
masked = deidentify(text, method="mask")        # [NAME], [DATE]
removed = deidentify(text, method="remove")     # Complete removal
replaced = deidentify(text, method="replace")   # Synthetic data
hashed = deidentify(text, method="hash")        # Cryptographic hashing
shifted = deidentify(text, method="shift_dates", date_shift_days=180)
```

**Smart Entity Merging** (NEW in v0.5.0): Fixes tokenization fragmentation by merging split entities like dates (`01/15/1970` instead of `01` + `/15/1970`), ensuring production-ready de-identification.

**HIPAA Compliance**: Covers all 18 Safe Harbor identifiers with configurable confidence thresholds.

### Batch Processing

```bash
# Process multiple files with progress tracking
openmed batch --input-dir ./clinical_notes --pattern "*.txt" --recursive

# Use profiles for different environments
openmed config profile-use prod
openmed batch --input-files note1.txt note2.txt --output results.json
```

### Configuration Profiles

```python
from openmed import analyze_text

# Apply a profile programmatically
result = analyze_text(
    text,
    model_name="disease_detection_superclinical",
    config_profile="prod"  # High confidence, grouped entities
)
```

### Performance Profiling

```python
from openmed import analyze_text, profile_inference

with profile_inference() as profiler:
    result = analyze_text(text, model_name="disease_detection_superclinical")

print(profiler.summary())  # Inference time, bottlenecks, recommendations
```
