Motivation

Free Software in medicine not widely established yet

Some subareas well covered

Medical data processing more than just practice and patient management

Preclinical research of microbiology and genetics as well as medical imaging

Basic ideas

Do not make a separate distribution but

make Debian fit for medical care

No development of medical software - just

smooth integration of third-party software

Debian - adaptable for any purpose?

Developed by more than 1000 volunteers

Flexible, not bound on commercial interest Strict rules (policy) glue all things together

Common interest of each individual developer: Get the best operating system for himself. Some developers work in the field of medicine In contrast to employees of companies every single Debian developer has the freedom and ability to realize his vision

Every developer is able to influence the development of Debian - he just has todoit.

Packages for Microbiology

BioPerl Collection of Perl modules featuring computational methods routinely used in bioinformatics

BioPython Python tools for development of applications for computational molecular biology which address the needs of current and future work in bioinformatics.

BioSQUID Library of C code functions for sequence analysis including a number of small utility programs to convert, show statistics, manipulate and do other functions on sequence files.

BLAST2 Official NCBI version #2 of this standard program for nucleotide and protein sequence alignment.

(40)

Packages for medical imaging

CTN Central Test Node: DICOM implementation which was designed to be used at the RSNA (Radiological Society of North America) annual meetings to foster cooperative demonstrations.

CTSim Interactive computed tomography simulator. CTSim has very educational trace modes for viewing the data collection simulation as well as the reconstruction.

DCMTK DICOM-toolkit: collection of libraries and applications implementing large parts the DICOM standard for medical image communication. It includes software for examining, constructing and converting DICOM image files, . . .

Prospectus

There are good requisites in Debian

Needed: High quality Open Source applications for medicine to be integrated into Debian

Further increase of interest of developers and users and getting them involved in the project

Base for service providers in health care

Turning Debian into the distribution of choice for people working in the field of medicine because there is best support for free medical software
