The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Health::Devices DSLIP: idpfp description: Drivers for Interacting with Health Devices userid: OWEN (Owen DeLong) chapterid: 4 (Operating_System_Interfaces) communities:
similar: None found rationale: I am currently working on modules to talk to various LifeScan brand Glucometers (blood glucose meters used by diabetics and others). I also intend to implement modules for Scales, Sphygmomanometers (blood pressure monitors), and possibly other devices. I do not want exclusive domain over the whole hierarchy, but I would like to have a published clear definition of the intended hierarchy in the hopes of providing maximum usability and extensibility for others to contribute non-conflicting modules. My thinking is Health::Devices::<type>::<brand>::<series>[::<model>] Where the API interface would be use Health::Devices::<type>::<brand>::<series> and any use of [::model] would be an internal and automatic (or semi-automatic) load carried out by the <series> module. <type> would indicate the type of device (e.g. thermometer, sphygmomanometer, scale, glucometer) <brand> would indicate the manufacturer (e.g. LifeScan, Bayer, etc.) <series> would indicate the group of devices (e.g. LifeScan::OneTouch) <model> would be the specific model within the series (e.g. LifeScan::OneTouch::Ultra2, LifeScan::OneTouch::UltraMini) Finally, I'm not absolutely certain about chapter 4, but I think that makes more sense than 23. Ideally, a chapter for things that talk to hardware would be preferred. enteredby: OWEN (Owen DeLong) enteredon: Thu Aug 22 08:04:45 2013 UTC The resulting entry would be: Health:: ::Devices idpfp Drivers for Interacting with Health Devices OWEN Thanks for registering, -- The PAUSE PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=1fc00000_7f75eb04108662f6&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=1fc00000_7f75eb04108662f6&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1 Peek at the current permissions: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?pause99_peek_perms_by=me&pause99_peek_perms_query=Health%3A%3ADevices
