[openhealth] handheld linux device

2007-02-05 Thread Will Ross
Suggestions Wanted.

I am working on a proposal that will deploy handheld devices in  
physician waiting rooms.   These devices are imagined to be in the  
form factor of small laptop, tablet or ultramobile computer.   This  
device will primarily mediate patient interaction with their own  
demographic details and past medical history.   At this point the  
device is imagined to be a dumb terminal rather than an intelligent  
workstation, but this view may evolve.   Any suggestions for existing  
open source projects, known clinical implementations, appropriate  
hardware to investigate, or solutions to avoid will be appreciated.

With best regards,

Don't you think that a handheld device in the waiting room would tend
to disappear?  

I would suggest a browser-based kiosk solution, which would surely
also lead to an option for the patient to fill in their medical
history from home.
