Interoperability Demo

This page shows how a real vendor's call transcript format can be mapped to an NHID-Clinical v1.3 event trace and evaluated for conformance. The adapter is open source — replace the sample input with real logs to test your own vendor.

Simulation only. These examples use synthetic Twilio-format transcripts to demonstrate the mapping. No real call data is shown. The adapter source is at adapters/twilio_adapter.py.

How It Works

Vendors who use Twilio produce call transcripts with text, timestamps, and speaker labels. The NHID-Clinical Twilio adapter reads that format and produces a structured event trace showing when disclosure happened, when data was first requested, and whether the call passes IDG-01.

The same pattern applies to other voice platforms — each needs its own adapter, but the output schema is identical. VAPI is now supported (POST /v1/adapters/vapi/check). Bland.ai and Retell AI adapters are planned.

Case 1: Compliant Call

Agent discloses before requesting any operational data.

Input — Twilio transcript

{
  "call_sid": "CA123456789",
  "start_time": "2026-05-27T14:00:00Z",
  "transcript": [
    {"text": "Hello, this is an automated system calling on behalf of Dr. Smith's office.",
     "timestamp": 0.5, "speaker": "agent"},
    {"text": "Can I get the NPI number please?",
     "timestamp": 3.2, "speaker": "agent"},
    {"text": "Sure, it's 1234567890.",
     "timestamp": 5.8, "speaker": "human"}
  ]
}

Output — NHID-Clinical trace

{
  "trace_id": "twilio_CA123456789",
  "source_format": "twilio_transcript",
  "policy_version": "1.3",
  "events": [
    {"event_type": "DISCLOSURE",    "timestamp_offset_s": 0.5, "nhid_rule": "IDG-01"},
    {"event_type": "DATA_REQUEST",  "timestamp_offset_s": 3.2, "nhid_rule": "PDX-01"}
  ],
  "compliance": {
    "IDG-01": "PASS",
    "disclosure_timestamp_offset_s": 0.5,
    "first_data_request_offset_s": 3.2,
    "disclosure_made": true
  }
}

IDG-01: PASS — disclosure at 0.5s, data request at 3.2s. Disclosure preceded data exchange.

Case 2: Non-Compliant Call (Late Disclosure)

Agent requests data before identifying as automated — impersonation latency.

Input — Twilio transcript

{
  "call_sid": "CA999888777",
  "start_time": "2026-05-27T14:05:00Z",
  "transcript": [
    {"text": "Hi, can I get the member ID and NPI?",
     "timestamp": 0.3, "speaker": "agent"},
    {"text": "Sure — NPI is 1234567890.",
     "timestamp": 2.1, "speaker": "human"},
    {"text": "Thank you. By the way, I'm an automated system.",
     "timestamp": 4.0, "speaker": "agent"}
  ]
}

Output — NHID-Clinical trace

{
  "trace_id": "twilio_CA999888777",
  "source_format": "twilio_transcript",
  "policy_version": "1.3",
  "events": [
    {"event_type": "DATA_REQUEST",  "timestamp_offset_s": 2.1, "nhid_rule": "PDX-01"},
    {"event_type": "DISCLOSURE",    "timestamp_offset_s": 4.0, "nhid_rule": "IDG-01"}
  ],
  "compliance": {
    "IDG-01": "FAIL – disclosure occurred after data request (impersonation latency)",
    "disclosure_timestamp_offset_s": 4.0,
    "first_data_request_offset_s": 2.1,
    "disclosure_made": true
  }
}

IDG-01: FAIL — data requested at 2.1s, disclosure not until 4.0s. 1.9 seconds of impersonation latency.

Run It Yourself

git clone https://github.com/NHID-Clinical/NHID-Clinical.git
cd NHID-Clinical
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m pytest tests/ -v

Replace SAMPLE_TWILIO_COMPLIANT or SAMPLE_TWILIO_NONCOMPLIANT in the adapter with your own call transcript to test your vendor's output.

Other Vendor Formats

The adapters/ directory contains format adapters that convert vendor-specific call transcripts to NHID-Clinical event traces. Available: Twilio Voice Intelligence, VAPI. Bland.ai and Retell AI adapters are planned.
