| Term | Definition | | :-------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Sampling Rate** | The number of audio samples captured per second, measured in Hertz. Suki requires 16KHz sampling rate for optimal audio quality. | | **SDK** | Software Development Kit. A collection of tools, libraries, and documentation to help developers build applications for a specific platform. | | **Service Contract** | A formal agreement between Suki and healthcare customers that defines service levels, data retention policies, and compliance requirements. | | **Semantic Versioning** | A versioning scheme (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) used for SDKs and APIs where major versions indicate breaking changes, minor versions add features, and patches fix bugs. | | **Session** | A single, time-bound instance of an ambient recording for a specific patient encounter. | | **Session Context** | Metadata provided when creating an ambient session (such as encounter type, patient age, diagnoses) that helps guide note generation and improve output quality. | | **Session ID** | In the Suki Web SDK, the **Ambient Session** identifier appears as **`ambientId`** on ambient event payloads (`ambient:update`, `ambient:start` through `ambient:submit`) and as **`activeAmbientId`** on `SDKClientInstance` (`string` or `null`). After `startAmbient()`, read `sdkClient.activeAmbientId` or the same value from `useSuki()` in React. It is **not** the same as **`encounterId`** on the **Note Submission** payload or **Encounter ID**. | | **Session Recovery** | The ability to reconnect and resume an interrupted ambient session, allowing continuation of recording and note generation after a network or device disruption. | | **Session Timeouts** | Automatic disconnection that occurs when no audio data is sent for 25 seconds (active state) or 30 minutes during pause with keep-alive events. | | **SNOMED** | Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine. A comprehensive clinical terminology system used for encoding clinical concepts like diagnoses, procedures, and findings. | | **SOC 2 Type II** | A security compliance certification that evaluates an organization's controls for data security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy over time. | | **Social History** | A clinical note section (LOINC: 29762-2) documenting lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, occupation, and living situation. | | **SHA-256** | Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit. A cryptographic hash function used for data integrity verification and digital signatures in security protocols. | | **SOAP Note** | Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan. A traditional clinical documentation format that organizes patient information into these four standardized sections. | | **Speech Recognition** | Technology that converts spoken words into written text, enabling voice-to-text functionality for clinical documentation. | | **Structured Data** | Organized medical information extracted from clinical conversations, such as diagnoses, medications, allergies, and vital signs, formatted for integration with EHR systems. | | **Suki Developer Platform (SDP)** | The official name for the entire suite of Suki's developer tools, including all APIs and SDKs. | | **Suki Token** | The access token returned by Suki's authentication API, used to authorize subsequent API requests to the Suki platform. |
