Come to hear about a open source medical records project that is
being deployed in Haiti with the help of a local person.

Let me give you a really quick overview of what I&#65533;m working on - 
In my senior year of college I started an open source electronic 
health record system designed to support medical teams in low 
resource settings.

I now volunteer much of my spare time on this project &#65533; 
we use new web technologies and face unique challenges due to 
the environments it&#65533;s used in. We create mobile intranets since 
most countries can hardly support a power grid. It has grown 
quickly and is being primarily used in Haiti &#65533; I recently had 
the opportunity to travel there for a deployment. Now that we 
have proven usability, I am trying to spread awareness of our 
cause and build a stronger community around the project.

The name of the software is fast Electronic Medical Records (fEMR), 
you can see a bit more including the repository at www.teamfemr.org
