Electronic Health Records EHR Data Analysis Using Hadoop and Spark

This project analyzes Electronic Health Records (EHR) data using Apache Hadoop and Spark to process large-scale healthcare data, focusing on patient demographics, hospital admissions, and stay durations. It involves setting up the environment, uploading data to HDFS, and performing data analysis and visualizations with Python. Future improvements include implementing machine learning models, optimizing performance, and integrating real-time data streaming.

Electronic Health Records

(EHR) Data Analysis using


Hadoop and Spark

This project focuses on analyzing Electronic Health Records (EHR)


data using Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark to efficiently process
large-scale healthcare data. The analysis involves data preprocessing,
exploratory data analysis (EDA), and visualizations to extract
meaningful insights regarding patient demographics, hospital
admissions, and stay durations.

processing.
Ensure Apache Hadoop and Spark are installed and configured.
Python is required with Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, and Seaborn
libraries. A Jupyter Notebook or any Python IDE is needed. HDFS must
be configured and running.
Dataset Overview
Patient Demographics
Age, gender, and other relevant patient information.

Hospital Admission Sources


Details on how patients were admitted to the hospital.

Length of Hospital Stays


Duration of patient stays in the hospital.

Discharge Statuses
Information on patient discharge outcomes.

The dataset, ehr_data.csv, contains structured data related to hospital records. It


includes fields such as patient demographics (age, gender, etc.), hospital
admission sources, length of hospital stays, and discharge statuses.
Running Hadoop Services

Start DFS
Run start-dfs.sh to start Hadoop Distributed File System.

Start YARN
Run start-yarn.sh to start YARN services.

Verify Services
Use jps command to verify NameNode and DataNode are running.

To start Hadoop services, run the start-dfs.sh and start-yarn.sh


commands. Verify that NameNode and DataNode are running using the jps
command. This ensures the Hadoop environment is properly set up for data
processing.
Data Upload to HDFS
Create Directories
1 Create /EHR_project and /EHR_project/input in HDFS.

Upload Dataset
2 Move ehr_data.csv to /EHR_project/input/.

Verify Upload
3 Use hdfs dfs -ls to confirm the file is in HDFS.

Create directories in Hadoop for storing the dataset using hdfs dfs -mkdir /EHR_project and hdfs dfs -mkdir
/EHR_project/input. Move the dataset into Hadoop’s file system using hdfs dfs -put. Verify the file upload using hdfs
dfs -ls /EHR_project/input/.
