==TeleHealth Database Overview==
* The small, compact database will function as both a diagnostic aid for untrained or uneducated people, and as a medical reference for doctors in third world countries, working in remote areas without access to formal medical resources.
* It will possibly be supplemented with Javascript/SVG based animations.
* It will eventually be composed of the:
** central reference database
*** based on the XTerm Medical Dictionary
** documentation for the TeleHealth Module
** an expert-system diagnosis aid
*** The biggest problem here is legal liability, a hefty disclaimer may be needed.
*** [[User:DyD]] has collected some diagnosis aids used by a local hospital.

Ian Daniher has been corresponding with Aurelian, creator of [http://medical-dictionary.ro XTerm_Medical_Dictionary], and he has graciously offered to license the database allow OLPC and direct affiliates access and an ability to freely distribute it.
