Re: Any Medical Open-Source Palm Apps Out There?
by Howard C. Shaw III on Thursday May 11, @03:46PM

"An open-source patient tracking project for the Palm"... Well, Saint, I don't know of any, but then again, that's not a very clear description. Think you could explain in a bit more detail what functionality such an application would need? Wouldn't it need to be tied pretty closely to whatever mechanism the hospital/etc was using for their desktop/server software? It seems to me that at least an initial reason for the lack is that open-source programs generally initiate from someone scratching an itch. So this would have to have been started by a doctor/nurse type with palm programming skills and access to the source code for his hospital management software. An unlikely combination in my opinion. Regardless, I am a Palm programmer by profession (at the moment, anyhow), and have access to an array of development tools. I would have to get up to speed on the gcc-based prc-tools to develop under Linux, since my current job is using the Windows-hosted CodeWarrior development environment. I realize you're in Guatemala at the moment, but let me know when you get back. I'd like to talk with you about this, and see about getting something started to hook in with linuxmed, or whatever it is you are installing down there. Howard
