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
      • Based on PyClips?
      • 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 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.
