[openhealth] Health of the Source

Hi, I pride myself about not only knowing whats going on, but having pretty good ideas about what the implications are. When I give talks at conferences, which is happening more and more frequently, I like to give juicy opinion rather than mere fact. My hope is that a "sports caster" type e

[openhealth] Reference tables and databases for FOSS health applications

This brings me to post this question: We love open source and all the benefits it brings, but when it comes to reference tables (drug codes, lab codes, etc), the best approach is not to build your own but to reuse/adapt (as a last resort) an existing one (albeit, they are not truly open). I say t

[openhealth] ECG open hardware device
