We have not been blogging for a while. However, GNUmed is far from dead. Development is continueing but without much media buzz.
EHR space is quite a beast.
Many eHealth companies are pushing into the web portal space with products aimed at patients.
GNUmed targets doctor's offices and patient-doctor interaction.
Interested developers can find the source code for GNUmed on GitHub

Patient data export to CD/DVD/USB stick
GNUmed now supports the following workflow:
- patient calls in asking for documentation on his back pain
- staff activates patient
- staff adds from the document archive to the patient
export area a few documents clearly related to episodes
of back pain
- staff writes inbox message to provider assigned to patient
- provider logs in, activates patient from inbox message
- provider adds a few more documents into the export area
- provider screenshots part of the EMR into the export area
- provider includes a few files from disk into export area
- provider creates a letter from a template and
stores the PDF in the export area
- provider notifies staff via inbox that documents
are ready for mailing to patient
- staff activates patient from inbox message
- staff burns export area onto CD or DVD and
mails to patient
- staff clears export area
Burning media requires both a mastering application
(like k3b) and an appropriate script gm-burn_doc
(like the attached) to be installed. Burning onto
some media the directory passed to the burn script
produces an ISO image like the attached.

Howto - Upgrade PostgreSQL 8.4 to PostgreSQL 9.3 for GNUmed
Here it is
0.) do a full backup. Save it on some other media then your harddisk ! Do it,
now.
1.) Install PG 9.3 ( I tried with 32bit but should not matter).
- http://get.enterprisedb.com/postgresql/postgresql-9.3.1-1-windows.exe
2.) Run the installer and select (English_UnitedStates) for locale (others
might work as well). Make sure it installs itself on port 5433 (or other but
never ! 5432).
3.) Make sure both PG 8.4 and PG 9.3 are running (e.g. via pgadmin3 from PG
9.3)
4.) open a command shell (dos box) - "run as" administrator (!) in Win7
5.) type : RUNAS /USER:postgres "CMD.EXE"
- this will open another black box (command shell) for user postgres
- for the password use 'postgrespassword' (default)
6.) type: SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Programme\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin;
- instead of Programme it might be Program Files on your computer
7.) type: cd c:\windows\temp
- changes directory to a writable temporary directory
8.) type: pg_dump -p 5432 -Fc -f gnumedv18.backup gnumed_v18
9.) type: pg_dumpall -p 5432 --globals-only > globals.sql
Important : Protect your PG 8.4 by shutting it down temporarly
10.) type in the first command shell : net stop postgresql-8.4
- check that is says : successfully stopped
11.) psql -p 5433 -f globals.sql
- this will restore roles in the new database (PG 9.3 on port 5433)
12.) pg_restore -p 5433 --dbname postgres --create gnumedv18.backup
- this will restore the database v18 into the PG 9.3 on port 5433
Congratulations. You are done. Now to check some things.

Here you could run the fingerprint script on both databases to check for an

13.) Open gnumed.conf in c:\programme\gnumed-client\
For the profile GNUmed database on this machine ("TCP/IP": Windows/Linux/Mac)]
change port=5432 to 5433.
14. Run the GNUmed client and check that it is working. If it works (no wrong
schema hash detected) you should see all your patient and data.
15. If you have managed to see you patients and everything is there close
GNUmed client 1.3.x.
16.) in the first command shell type: net stop postgresql-9.3
17.) Go to c:\Ptogramme\PostgresPlus\8.4SS\data and open postgresql.conf. Find
port = 5432 and change it to port = 5433
18.) Go to c:\Programme\Postgresql\9.3\data and open postgresql. Find port =
5433 and change it to 5432. This effectively switches ports for PG 8.4 and 9.3
so PG 9.3 runs on the default port 5432.
19.) Open gnumed.conf in c:\programme\gnumed-client\
For the profile GNUmed database on this machine ("TCP/IP": Windows/Linux/Mac)]
change port=5433 to 5432.
20.) Restart PG 9.3 with: net start postgresql-9.3.
21.) Open the GNUmed client and connect (to PG 9.3 on port 5432).
22.) Leave PG 8.4 in a shutdown state.
So far we have transferred database v18 from PG 8.4 to 9.3. No data from PG
8.4 is touched/lost.
23.) Now you are free to install gnumed-server v19 and gnumed -client 1.4.
Having installed gnumed-server v19 select 'database upgrade' (not boostrap
database) and it will upgrade your v18 database to a v19 database.
In case you experience problems you can always shut down PG 9.3, switch ports again, install client 1.3.x, start PG 8.4 (net start postgresql-8.4) and work with your old setup.

GNUmed 1.4.0 - PostgreSQL upgrade to 9.1
The release notes prominently tell us that GNUmed 1.4.x requires at least PostgreSQL 9.1.
If you are running the Windows packages and have let GNUmed install PostgreSQL for you you are good to go since it comes with PostgreSQL 9.2 already.
If you are on Ubuntu or Debian Chances are your system still has PostgreSQL 8.x installed.
First check if you run any software that requires you to continue using PostgreSQL 8.x. If so you can install PG 9.1 side by side with it. If not let PG 9.1 replace PG 8.x
It usually works like this.
sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.1
sudo pg_upgradecluster 8.4 main
Then if you don't need PG 8.4 anymore you could
sudo pg_dropcluster --stop 8.4 main
sudo apt-get purge postgresql-8.4
Have fun.

mobilECG - accessible clinical-grade electrocardiography
There is a crowdfunding campaign for a medical grade mobile ecg at a fraction of the usual cost.
Go have a look at it and support it.
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mobilecg-accessible-clinical-grade-electrocardiography
I am in contact with the creators to see if we can connect it to GNUmed somehow.
