EndoregDB - Professional Data Infrastructure for Clinical Research

EndoregDB is a comprehensive database framework designed to manage medical and research-related data for clinical trials. This repository focuses on efficient data processing, automated deployment, security, and reproducibility, offering a flexible setup for local development environments as well as distributed systems. It supports the integration of AI/ML tools and advanced image and report processing.

This infrastructure was originally designed for clinical research studies and is optimized for handling large data volumes, including:

• Medical reports,
• Patient imaging and video data,
• Clinical product and treatment data, and more.

🚀 Key Features

System Architecture

• Modular Design: Built on scalable and reusable components to simplify integration into various environments.
• Multi-System Support: Manages configurations for local workstations and production servers.
• Role-Specific Configuration: Predefined roles for common use cases:
  • Medical data processing systems
  • AI/ML model deployment
  • Research workstation configuration

Security & Data Management

• Data Encryption: All sensitive data is encrypted, and privacy policies are enforced.
• Impermanence: Stateless system configuration with persistence for critical data.
• Access Control: Role-based access and identity management integration.

Data and Processing Environment

• Data Processing: Optimized for processing medical datasets with preprocessing tools.
• AI/ML Support:
  • Integration of machine learning tools for predictive analysis.
  • TensorFlow, PyTorch, and other frameworks supported for model training.
• Image/Video Processing: Support for analyzing patient images and clinical videos.

Development Tools & Infrastructure

• Data Science Toolchains: Pre-configured environments for data processing, analysis, and visualization.
• Monitoring & Logging: Setup for continuous monitoring and logging to ensure system stability and performance.
