Is there any activity looking specifically at the use of Open Source software in the management of disease related data in Oncology patients?

I am a radiation oncologist interested in pursuing some Open Source development in the area of managing data associated with the management of cancer patients, specifically with a view to permitting QA of practice and acquisition of data that can be aggregated and compared.

I feel alone in this desire and would like to find some colleagues in the Oncology realm or some IT-savvy dudes who re prepared to work with a doctor to achieve something useful.

HI, I have been fascinated with sharp SCL 860 PDA which is a linux based machine. The problem is that most popular references are created for Palm devices. Is any way to use available references for Palm on a sharp device? I know an emulator exists but it is too slow. So the options are either to run those programs on a website and then access the website wirelessly or to have a reader on the PDA that can read text designed for palm device. Any ideas or suggestions?! Thanks Al

I’m a student and I have to write software for reservation exams in a hospital. Is there any links to projects that are the same as my project?
