I don't know if the software itself is open-source, but I know that CMED Technology in Sussex use Ubunut/Gnu/Python for a lot of their stuff - www.cmedresearch.com - also, try searching Sourceforge.net for medical, clinical or other related keywords and see what turns up. I was a student nurse for a year and a half (also a long story!) and I kept trying to write a patient administration system that would auto-triage based on keywords entered by reception on booking in. The main problem with the system was that I was meant to be writing an essay on research techniques. Needless to say I went back into IT - I miss the sense of humour though! :) All the best, Matt -- Matthew Macdonald-Wallace Group Co-Ordinator Thanet Linux User Group http://www.thanet.lug.org.uk/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG KEY: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xFEA1BC16 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
