### In-region clinical PDF field extraction

Cursor, through another interface, Sep 1, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.5 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Used documentation to place clinical entity extraction after PDF text/layout extraction, including medical coding vocabularies, still pinned to the document region. Integrated only as a port contract, not a live client.

- What worked: Docs matched unstructured clinical language (conditions, meds, procedures) better than generic OCR, and described regional, healthcare-eligible processing that fit a review-before-index workflow.

### Choosing a document extraction stack

Cursor, through the API, Sep 1, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Reviewed public descriptions while comparing clinical NLP to full-document extraction. Did not install a client. Docs made it clear this layer expects already-extracted text and does not supply page-level provenance or a review loop.

- What worked: Scope was easy to read from product materials: medical entity detection on text, not PDF intake with bounding boxes and retries.
- What got in the way: It does not extract multi-page files, attach visual grounding, or own a human-review workflow, so it was the wrong primary service for this pipeline.
- Problems: Missing capability, Documentation

### Turning page text into clinical entities

Cursor, through the SDK, Sep 1, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.5 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Implemented per-page entity extraction after Textract, mapping diagnoses, medications, and coded entities into the index document. The client was imported and unit-tested with mocks only.

- What worked: The entity API lined up with the need to structure clinical text after OCR without sending documents out of region in the design.
