Reside@HOME: Linux For Elderly Healthcare
,----[ Quote ]
| Via an Internet connection and web browser, the caregiver(s) can create
| messages that display on the Reside@HOME Monitor as well as managing a
| phone/address book, displaying photographs on the monitor, managing photo
| albums, personal medical information, and other features. There are elderly
| enhancements to all of these areas such as supporting an image-driven phone
| book as opposed to just plain text. Remotely, caregivers can intuitively
| tweak this Linux-based environment to change the audio level on the
| Reside@HOME Monitor along with the font size/type and even the
| theme/appearance. The selectable themes include optimizations for care
| receivers with Macular Degeneration and other eye impairments.

The Coming Electronic Health Record Software Disaster
,----[ Quote ]
| Free and Open Source Software has an answer for EHR businesses as well. They
| need not go out of business: They can switch to being non-proprietary vendors
| by simply changing their licensing terms and making their software available
| for download on Sourceforge or better yet simply using available
| non-proprietary EHR software. What is in it for them is vastly better
| infrastructure, more satisfied customers and much greater acceptance of EHR
| software that protects the rights of patients and doctors. This is unlikely
| to happen in the current climate.

Next Gen, Mission-Critical Apps To Be Deployed on Linux Says Report
,----[ Quote ]
| By now it should be obvious to even the most casual industry observers
| that Linux operating systems - and open source-based software in general -
| have reached critical marketplace mass. Recent Linux deals and
| announcements by Oracle and Microsoft have only reinforced the "open
| source is enterprise-grade" message that IBM, Unisys and other "Master
| Brand" hardware, software and services vendors have been preaching for
| years. In short, open source, especially Linux, is becoming "legitimized"
| by the major vendors for enterprise environments, and user executives
| are more than happy to believe them.
