Anoymize flat files

Hello,

I work with text that have diagnosis such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc.

Could I create a file with these words? and force these to be anonymized?

How would I do this?

Thanks

I do not understand your question. This tool anonymizes only databases, not flat files.

There are certain words that I would like to be annonymized. For example, "Parkinson", "Alzheimer", "Schizophrenia", "Depression", etc.

How can I configure the application to recognize and anonymize these words.

If you are talking about flat file, than this tool does not anonymize flat files. However, if the data is in the database, then you can run database discovery against the database in question, get the result (list of "suspected" columns"), and then create a requirement document (please see samples in "sample" directory.

Currently, NLP models do not work with medical data, but by end of this week I am going to provide this functionality.

Thank you, I look forward to your enhancements.

Please could you also let me know how I can do something like this? I am anticipating that there are going to be many text that I would like to be anonymized.
