Quickstart Tutorial For Windows

Before beginning this tutorial, please install DeepPhe for Windows.

Overview

This tutorial will take you through the following steps:

Starting the DeepPhe Database
Starting the DeepPhe GUI
Configuring the DeepPhe GUI to process the provided example fictitious patient reports
Processing the fictitious patient reports and saving the results to the DeepPhe Database, and to various output files
Viewing the results in the DeepPhe Visualizer

Starting the DeepPhe Database

The first thing we will need to do is start the DeepPhe database so the DeepPhe GUI has a place to store results, and those results can be viewed in the DeepPhe Visualizer.

DeepPhe uses a Neo4j Database to store results. To start the DeepPhe database, go to your DeepPhe installation directory ("DeepPhe" in your Applications folder by default), and click the start-neo4j.command.

Once the DeepPhe Database is running you will see a terminal that looks as follows.

Those familiar with databases can monitor this window for debug messages written by DeepPhe. Most users can happily ignore this window, but it must remain open while using DeepPhe or the DeepPhe-Visualizer.

Starting the DeepPhe GUI

Now that the database is running, we are ready to start the DeepPhe GUI.

Open your Start Menu and click on the DeepPheGUI shortcut.

Configuring the DeepPhe GUI

Welcome to the DeepPhe GUI

Before we run, we first need to configure the GUI to process the example patient reports. Set the parameters as follows:

InputDirectory: /Users/yourHomeDirectory/DeepPheDocs
OutputDirectory: /Users/yourHomeDirectory/DeepPheDocsOutput (directory must exist on filesystem)
StartNeo4j: (leave blank)
StopNeo4j: (leave blank)
Neo4jUri: bolt://127.0.0.1:7687
Neo4jUser: neo4j
Neo4jPass: neo4jpass

Process Patient Reports

We are all set and ready to run. To run DeepPhe, click the green button at the top of the screen that looks like a person on a run.

DeepPhe will run and display a "COMPLETE" message when it's finished.

Depending on the version of DeepPhe you are running, DeepPhe will either close automatically or ask you to press a button to close DeepPhe. If the DeepPhe software didn't close automatically, you can close it now.
