Data storage and processing take place in a distributed manner through the use of Kafka and Spark respectively.

In particular, information such as the status of examined anatomical structures, medical diagnosis and other information related to the patient's health is to be extracted from the documents.

The next step in this project would be to make the extraction customisable;

Ideally, any doctor specialising in any field of medicine could upload their reports and specify which parameters they would like the model to search for.

The power of ChatGPT-4 was used to extract the features.

• Docker & Docker Compose
• In order to to use ChatGPT-4 API, one possible solution is to create an Azure account and enable OpenAI services.

The data analysed were provided by a doctor. They are diagnoses made following ultrasound examinations of the male inguinal-scrotal regions.

Logstash is a free and open server-side data processing pipeline that ingests data from a multitude of sources, transforms it, and then sends it to your favorite "stash."

Apache Kafka is an open-source event streaming platform that enables the management and processing of real-time data streams. It is designed for scalability, reliability and speed, enabling the transmission of large volumes of data between applications and systems. Kafka operates on a publish-subscribe model, where producers send data into containers called topics and consumers subscribe to the topics to receive the data.

Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine capable of addressing a growing number of use cases. As the heart of the Elastic Stack, it centrally stores your data for lightning fast search, fine‑tuned relevancy, and powerful analytics that scale with ease.

Apache Spark is a lightning-fast unified analytics engine for big data and machine learning. It was originally developed at UC Berkeley in 2009.

Kibana is an free and open frontend application that sits on top of the Elastic Stack, providing search and data visualization capabilities for data indexed in Elasticsearch. Commonly known as the charting tool for the Elastic Stack (previously referred to as the ELK Stack after Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana), Kibana also acts as the user interface for monitoring, managing, and securing an Elastic Stack cluster — as well as the centralized hub for built-in solutions developed on the Elastic Stack. Developed in 2013 from within the Elasticsearch community, Kibana has grown to become the window into the Elastic Stack itself, offering a portal for users and companies.
