We have a lightweight app written in Java that we run from a 1 gig or smaller USB thumb drive that synchronizes with OpenEMR via SFTP. IT was designed to be used offline in the patients home and then sync up when you out are on the internet (or intranet).
It's a very flexible framework for data collection as the forms and rules can be modified without any coding. We call it MEDICS, MI2 Encrypted Data/Information Collection System. see www.mi-squared.com for a full users guide in PDF We are pretty close to getting it cleaned up enough to make it an FOSS application. It works well in Windows and Linux. We have been talking about porting it to the andriod platform or i-phone, etc. Right now we run it on netbooks like the Acer Aspire (XP) or the ASUS eee-PC (eeubuntu or xandros) --Tony McCormick Tim Cook wrote: > On Tue, 2009-03-03 at 14:41 +0500, Fouad Bajwa wrote: > > >> What are the recommendations of the members of this list? >> > > First I would contact the people at http://www.opentapas.org/ to learn > about their experiences with the North Shore Mobile project.
