The list below includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian-Med Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian-Med which can sensibly add to a high quality Custom Debian Distribution.
For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:
If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian-Med to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian-Med mailing list.

Mencal
http://www.kyberdigi.cz/projects/mencal/english.html |
License:
GPL
Official Debian package |
|
Mencal is a menstruation calendar written in Perl. It is a simple variation of the well-known Unix command cal. The main difference is that you can have some periodically repeating days highlighted in color. This can be used to track menstruation (or other) cycles conveniently. |
|
There are no projects which fall into this category.

Cycle
http://cycle.sourceforge.net/ |
License:
GPL
Debian package not available |
| Cycle is a calendar program for women. Given a cycle length or statistics for several periods, it can calculate the days until menstruation, the days of "safe" sex, the fertile period, and the days to ovulations, and define the d.o.b. of a child. It allows the user to write notes and helps to supervise the reception of hormonal contraceptive tablets. | |

Electrocardiognosis
http://ecgnosis.corlan.net/ |
License:
GPL
Debian package not available |
| Electrocardiognosis (short: ECGNOSIS) is an ambulatory 24h ECG monitor, that is a device about the size of a dictaphone which a patient carries with them for a day and which records an electrocardiogram, continuously, for this period. The electrocardiogram is stored in RAM memory and can be later transferred to a Linux computer where it can be processed using the Electrocardiognosis analysis program. This kind of device is also called a "holter monitor" after the name of its inventor, Norman Holter. | |

Gnotary
http://www.gnumed.net/gnotary/ |
License:
GPL
Debian package not available |
| Gnotary is an e-mail service to help prove that medical (and other) records have not been modified after a certain date. As opposed to handwriting and chemical changes of ink and paper over time, digital records can be altered without leaving a trace, even serial backups on CD-ROMS can be made retrospectively, so it might have little value in court. You simply email a message to any gnotary server, and pronto - an email comes back with a digital signature certifying that your email has been received at a given date. If you alter the content of the original email, the verification of the signature does not work any more. | |
