Dataset

The DICOM medical data for this experiment comes from the overall WCPT dataset described here: http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/SP/WCPT+medical+dataset. The data for this experiment will be composed of HL7 XML files.

Purpose of this experiment

The goal of this experiment is to analyse the epidemiological situation across WCPT patients. It includes the following analysis:

Age of patients treated in a given period
Sex of patients treated in a given period
Number of cases of a given disease in a given period
Number of abnormal results in laboratory examinations for a given disease codes in a given period
Average time of patient’s visit for a given disease codes in a given time period

Platform

PSNC Hadoop Platform (http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/SP/PSNC+Hadoop+Platform)

Workflow

The analysis will be done via means of Hadoop jobs which will be executed on PSNC Hadoop cluster. There will be no specific general workflow, as the algorithm implemented in Hadoop job will handle all of the processing. The main steps in the analysis will be:

Define input and output and criteria for the analysis
Implement Hadoop job
Execute Hadoop job and gather results
Prepare results in a human-readable way
