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.

I am in contact with the creators to see if we can connect it to GNUmed somehow.

GNUmed 1.3.0 released

Hello all,

I am glad to be able to announce the immediate availability
of the GNUmed 1.3.0.3 "御目出度う御座います" Feature Release !


Downloads available from:

        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/1.3/
        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/server/v18/


Client installation:

 Easily installable packages for your platform of choice
 will be available shortly.

 Meanwhile you can run the client from a downloaded tarball
 or use the net based client installer:

        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/client/gm-install_client_locally.sh

 which you need to download, make executable, and run.

 More information available here:

        http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/InstallerGuideHomeShort


Database installation / upgrade:

 Note that this release, as usual, DOES require a database
 upgrade from v17 to v18 if you already have a database and
 wish to retain the patient data you documented therein. For
 uprading you can use the script provided in the tarball:

        .../server/bootstrap/upgrade-db.sh 17 18

 Alternatively, you can use the network upgrader:

        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/server/net_upgrade-gnumed_server.sh

 which you need to download, make executable and run.

 If you wish to install a fresh database (without upgrading
 an existing one) you can use the install script:

        .../server/bootstrap/bootstrap-latest.sh

 or, again, the network based installer:

        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/server/net_install-gnumed_server.sh

 Note that both ways WILL DELETE existing databases !

GNUmed Updates for Windows, Mac and Linux

The good news is that GNUmed has seen a steady development over the last few years. The way it currently looks this will not change. The next major release (version 1.3) is about to be released.

To bring this new release to the Windows platform as well as other Linux distributions besides Debian Linux we need help. If you are willing to learn what it takes by being mentored from start to end please contact us.

We have the ressources to teach you how to prepare and distribute packages for Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora, Mac and Windows but we currently lack the time to prepare the packages every time a new version of GNUmed is released.

If you want to help bringing the latest and greates GNUmed to more people (by creating packages) please let us know.

Regards,
Sebastian Hilbert

GNUmed on Windows 8

Microsoft offers a freely downloadable Consumer preview of Windows 8.
Looks like GNUmed runs just fine on this.

GNUmed now has a visual timeline

Thanks to the execellent work done by the TimelineProject GNUmed now has a visual timeline. Wondering what the fuzz is all about ?

Well it can graphically show you when a patient was in a hospital, for what timeframe a medication was given when exactly a patient showed up for diabetes care and much more.

Enjoy.

And when you thought it would not get any better... There now is a feature to filter on which information you would like to display in the timeline.

GNUmed gets a visual timeline

A few mailing list postings indicate that GNUmed team is working on a visial representation of a patient's medical history.

GNUmed statistics

I am starting to gather some statistics about GNUmed.

In February 2012 and March 2012 (initial data) there are some interesting trends.

About 58% over the visitors to www.gnumed.de were WIndows users. Of those 30% Linux users (might include spiders) 3,7% indicate using Ubuntu and 0,5% use Debian. However 24,7% use *some* Linux.

We have had roughly 50GB of traffic (website and downloads) on the server and in the first half of March there were 616 hits to the gnumed-versions.txt. This could indicate that one or more people started the GNUmed client(s) 616 times in the first half of March. Assuming there were just 10 people trying out GNUmed would mean thos ten people started GNUmed 61 times each. Which is more then once daily. Be it more or less people it looks like some people are trying out GNUmed.

There were 429 unique visitors (includes spiders I think). Interestingly 80% of the visits were shorter then 30 seconds. Some people do read fast.

In conclusion: We know next to nothing about GNUmed users :-) The only valid indicators are bug reports. So we need more bugs to get more feedback.

GNUmed 1.2.0 available for your systems

No excuse now :-)
