At Baobab Health Trust (Malawi) <http://baobabhealth.org/>, we are using Ruby on Rails to develop health systems. Our systems are web based (obviously), touchscreen based. They are more of electronic data capturing systems. Personally, I have been involved in the development of the following: - Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension Treatment(DMHT) System ( http://bit.ly/baobab dmht) - Antenatal, Maternity & Under- ve System (http://bit.ly/baobabmaternity) - Inpatient Electronic Data System(http://bit.ly/baobab spine v 1 2) - Outpatient Electronic Data System (http://bit.ly/baobab outpatient) - Baobab's ART (BART) System (http://bit.ly/bart 2) 2011/1/10 SW Engineer <[email protected]> > So @walter, what do you recommend to approach healthcare through RoR? > At Baoab Health, we use *point of care* approach. This is a paradigm where we allow users to capture data at the point of collection (and not retrospective entry as other system sometimes do). I'm ready to share more with you especially, on implementing expert CAD systems. --- Edmond (ceekays) Software Developer | Baobab Health Trust (http://www.baobabhealth.org/) | Malawi Cell: +265 999 465 137 | +265 881 234 717 *Prosperous New Year 2011 and Prosperous New Decade!!** ** * 2011/1/10 SW Engineer <[email protected]> > Thanks @walter for your throrough responce. > > To be more specific where I would like to use RoR, I would like to use > it initially in: > > - Reading a DICOM image of a patient that is more likely suffering from > lung cancer for example. > - Compare the read DICOM image with other DICOM images in the databaase. > - Returning the most similar case to the read image. > > This in its case will help the radiologist diagnose the patient on lung > cancer. > > So, as you can see, I'm interested in applying RoR in CAD > (Computer-Aided Diagnosis), and think that some image processing would > be needed here. > > For this, how can I approach it through RoR? > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<rubyonrails-talk%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
