2009 Google Summer of Code

This summer I will be contributing to OpenMRS through the Google Summer of Code!




















"OpenMRS® is a community-developed, open-source, enterprise electronic medical record system framework. We've come together to specifically respond to those actively building and managing health systems in the developing world, where AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria afflict the lives of millions. Our mission is to foster self-sustaining health information technology implementations in these environments through peer mentorship, proactive collaboration, and a code base that equals or surpasses proprietary equivalents."

Specifically, I will be working on Video Upload and Review from Mobile Phones. As part of the Moca team, we would like to add support for video upload and review within OpenMRS and on the Google Android platform, initially for ultrasound data review and diagnosis. By summer 2009 we should have a Java code-base for reading DICOM videos from most ultrasound devices and compressing them for upload. We should also have a prototype for uploading this data to OpenMRS. This project aims to knit together these algorithms onto the Android platform, and extend the OpenMRS interface to allow audio and video review and annotation. Video such as ultrasound will be delivered into OpenMRS via mobile phones. Finally, we are interested in integrating open source image segmentation and classification algorithms into the software (either on the server or the client).
