            Abstract : 
A Web-based recommender system supporting acquisition and recognition of endoscopy images is described. Utilization of neural networks to identify some disease symptoms is proposed. Moreover, parallel realization of the learning phase of such networks by genetic algorithms is proposed. Some experiments showing advantages of this approach are also presented
