Design of the research platform for medical information analysis and data mining

Abstract

A research platform for medical information analysis and data mining was designed in the paper. Based on the OpenStack, a cloud computing platform management was built which can realize virtual distribution and management. It also could improve the resource utilization and otherwise reduce the requirements for the personal work PC. Moreover, the application of the Hadoop technology provided a better solution for medical data mining and analysis, as a task can be broken into small sub-tasks. And task decomposition could enable the computing speed of big data greatly accelerated. In addition, the platform integrated some classical popular algorithms such as R language, SQL, excel and so on, and meanwhile it also included a medical database that is useful for the researchers to learn and practice actually.
