I've had an idea for another standalone widget. (or can run from soAp box) A full-screen dialogue box, the top is a series of checkboxes such as "erthyema" "nodular" "exudate" "scale" "itch" "pigmented" etc., plus drop-downs for "population" (child, adult, elederly), and "distribution" (truncal, flexural, sun-exposed, whole body, face, etc.) at the bottom are three boxes. The leftmost displays a list of dermatological differentials (in order of prevalence) for the entered population and description. Then you select one, the middle box (the biggest) shows a photograph of said rash, the rightmost a wxHTML widget holding a full clinical description, and recommended management.
Personally I find derm a daily struggle and I would find something like this very useful if only to order and formalise my own diagnostic process. What do others think? The biggest hurdle is getting hold of a set of free-as-in-speech derm images. [I suppose we could just hold a URL pointing to an image on one of the many online collections and download on-the-spot.] Horst has already started a little collection at http://tinyurl.com/7cdkt Ian _______________________________________________ Gnumed-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumed-devel
