Re: [openhealth] Biosurveillance software

2010-04-27 Thread Tim Cook
Dear members of the OpenHealth list:

I am Luciana Cavalini, I am an epidemiologist from Brazil. Maybe I can
give some additional advice.
[For some unreasonable reason, I did not sign in for this mailing list
yet, that's why I'm using my husband's e-mail - my contact is below.]
If Hector wants something similar to EpiInfo, he's searching much more
for a biostatistical analysis package than anything else. In this case,
the gold standard is R (http://www.r-project.org), both for the Open
Source and proprietary world, and for any operational system. The
library Rcmdr makes it very "user-friendly" (it started as a reverse
engineering for SPSS).
The only thing that EpiInfo does and R with Rcmdr doesn't do is the
Chi-square for heterogeneity for stratified analysis. But it is
implementable by hand (if it is not available in any other R package).

Other than that, R performs any of the analysis required for
epidemiological surveillance for aggregated data, including the right
way to estimate the endemic curves, by using the Poisson rather than the
Gaussian distribution.

If you need purpose-specific decision support systems operating at the
individual level, there's nothing available yet, as far as I know, but
everybody is very welcome to contribute on our project, the
Epidemiological Surveillance Support System
(https://launchpad.net/epis3), a proud member of the Multilevel
Healthcare Information Modeling project (https://launchpad.net/mhlim).

Cheers, Luciana

Have a look at NetEpi Collection at http://code.google.com/p/netepi/ -
production-ready, with large scale deployments, and under active, funded
development. And runs on Linux. If you need help getting it installed, just
email us on the mailing list.

Sorry for cross posting:

Hi there, my name is Hector, im from Argentina, I want know if anyone
can send me a little list of apps of Public Health and Biosurveillance
e.g. epi-info, I need an alternative to this, to use in gnu/linux
"mandriva" or another SO likes *nix.
Let me know, thanks in advance.
