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

Ian Daniher has been cooresponding with Aurelian, creator of XTerm_Medical_Dictionary

"Ian,


I will agree to make this database available free of any charge to your team working for OLPC with a simple condition. I would like formal assurance that third parties don't have access to this database except through the application you create. I had to encrypt it years ago after I noticed several individuals stealing all the definitions to create websites. Every other month I receive requests to sell it. I do not plan to sell it, because I want not to be used for profit. Let's find a way to do this properly and I will be glad to help colleagues from other countries that will use your application.


Best wishes, Aurelian"
