Abstract

This paper presents an implementation of an architecture based on open-source solutions using ELK Stack - Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana - for real-time data analysis and visualizations in the Medical Data Integration Center, University Hospital Cologne, Germany. The architecture addresses challenges in handling diverse data sources, ensuring standardized access, and facilitating seamless analysis in real-time, ultimately enhancing the precision, speed, and quality of monitoring processes within the medical informatics domain.
