Summary
Tools
Debian Med several tools

This metapackage will install tools for several purposes in health care. Currently it contains some simple programs for Personal Health.

The list to the right 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 Debian Pure Blend.

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 es un calendario menstrual escrito en Perl.

Es una variación sencilla de la conocida orden de UNIX cal. La principal diferencia es que se pueden tener algunos días resaltados en color repetidos periódicamente. Esto se puede usar para hacer un seguimiento de los ciclos de menstruación (u otros) convenientemente.

MSSStest is a program for implementing the method described in the article The Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score. R. Roxburgh S. Seaman et al. (2004), accepted for publication by Neurology. It calculates MSSS scores and uses these scores to test for differences between disease progression rates in different groups defined by genotype at some locus. A brief description of the method is given below.
