A diagnostic aid for untrained or uneducated people working in remote areas without access to formal medical care. Ideally will be largely picture-based, with easy-to-use interface

• User:DyD has collected some diagnosis aids used by a local hospital.
• User:ZdenekBroz has been working on a wikislice of relevant medical information (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikislice/Medical, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THM_:_DB)
• A very simple pygtk/xml based activity could be made using if/elseif clauses to mimic a diagnostic flowchart.
• The biggest problem here is legal liability, a hefty disclaimer may be needed.
