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

Cycle jest kalendarzem dla kobiet. Na podstawie podanej długości cyklu lub kilku okresów potrafi obliczyć pozostałą liczbę dni do menstruacji, wyznaczyć dni "bezpiecznego" seksu, okres płodny, liczbę dni do owulacji oraz określić dnień narodzin dziecka. Program pozwala użytkownikowi na tworzenie notatek i pomaga nadzorować gospodarkę hormonalną regulowaną tabletkami antykoncepcyjnymi.

Funkcje programu:

  • Określa, w które dni wystąpi menstruacja na podstawie długości cyklu lub statystyk wynikających z poprzednich okresów.
  • Określa dni "bezpiecznego" seksu, dni płodne oraz czas owulacji.
  • Wyznacza dnień narodzin dziecka.
  • Pozwala na tworzenie notatek.
  • Pomaga nadzorować przyjmowanie hormonalnych tabletek antykoncepcyjnych.
  • Umożliwia pracę wielu użytkownikom. Dane każdego użytkownika są chronione hasłem.

OSTRZEŻENIE: Program nie jest niezawodnym środkiem antykoncepcyjnym. Nie stanowi także ochrony przed chorobami wenerycznymi, takimi jak AIDS. Jest to raczej sposób na gromadzenie danych medycznych w formie elektronicznej i ich przetwarzanie w celu wyciągnięcia wniosków na podstawie opracowanych statystyk. W żadnym wypadku ten program nie zastąpi ginekologa.

Mencal jest kalendarzem menstruacyjnym napisanym w Perlu.

Prosta odmiana znanego wszystkim uniksowego polecenia cal. Główna różnica polega na możliwości oznaczenia kolorem powtarzających się cyklicznie wydarzeń. Może być użyty do wygodnego śledzenia cyklu menstruacyjnego (bądź jakiegokolwiek innego).

QuitCount is a simple counter that shows what you spared since you quit smoking. Once you tell it the date you quit, how much you smoked, and how much it cost, it'll tell you how many cigarettes you didn't smoke since, and how much it makes in terms of money, tar, and life expectancy.

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.
