[Health] OLPC Presentation and Medical Applications

[Arjun Sarwal]

Hello Matt,

Thanks for your interest in the project.

I am part of a special interest group formed around OLPC and the XO
laptops that focuses on public health issues , by  directing efforts
to develop software and content and peripherals for self monitoring
that connect to the XO.

For a more general overview of the Activities of this group please

Thank you for letting us know that you will be demoing them in your
medical school.
Mel Chua and Seth Woodworth recently organized a Health Jam in Seattle
and might have some publicity material that they could share with you.

I am ccing the OLPC-health mailing list where folks might be able to
pitch in with ideas on what areas they feel help for this project is
most needed at this point.
If you may be interested, you can subscribe to this mailing list by going here

thanks again and we look forward to working with you.

best regards
Arjun
