Update: Overview of free medical software
apfelkraut | January 20, 2008 | 12:08 amAfter one week I performed today a major update of the overview of open source software for the health care sector at freemedsw.apfelkraut.org.
Meanwhile more than 70 FOSS projects are listed and counting … According to the number of visits per day there seems to be at least some interest in this overview (Wed: 40, Thu: 120, Fri: 270, Sa: 130 visits). Thank you!
While adding new projects I also extended the number of categories:
- Clinical research
- DICOM tool(kit)
- DICOM viewer/server
- Electronic medical record
- HL7 tool(kit)
- Hospital management system (changed)
- Integration tool(kit) / middleware (new)
- Practice management system (changed)
- Radiology information system (new)
- Signal processing (new)
- Telemedicine (new)
- Visualization (new)
- Other
- Standards
Furthermore I though it would be useful to include also a link to the RSS feed of the news and releases of each project. So that you can check the latest developments by a single click or just add it to your favorite RSS reader.
Moreover if you want to stay up-to-date about what is going on at freemedsw.apfelkraut.org, you can also add this blog to your favorite reader. I will announce major updates or related news under the category Open Source
.
In case you find a broken link or incorrect information I would appreciate your help! Please send me a message or leave a comment at freemedsw.apfelkraut.org. You can submit change requests or new projects via a form which is available here.
Is this overview of any help to you?
What should be the next improvement(s)?
