Sameer<br><br clear="all">You may already know this.....A group of doctors from the Mangalore HeartScan Foundation and Omega Hospital (Mangalore Karnataka India) have expressed interested in supporting something like this. They conduct free camps in rural areas where they could pilot any project in the health area. They have identified a village in Kavoor in nearby Kerala for a possible OLPC implementation. Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to support them.<br>
<br><a href="http://www.mangaloreheartfoundation.com/chairman.html">http://www.mangaloreheartfoundation.com/chairman.html</a><br><br>One constraint is that the doctors don't know how to use this technology in health and we have no support team in Mangalore...But it is a very active thought on my back burner and as soon as I figure out how to go about it all.... I will connect the dots. <br>
In the mean time they are building capacity just getting everyone at the hospital IT/Digital Literate and implementing systems to keep track of clients.<br><br><br style="color:rgb(51, 102, 102)">I am copying Dr. K Mukund on this. Not sure the mail is checked frequently. <br>

Hi Yekaterina,<br>
<br>
I'm re-copying the health list. I hope that's ok. Be sure to reply-all<br>
so that others on the list can benefit, unless the reply is private.<br>
I'm assuming this reply to all should be ok.<br>
<br>
The modules are written in Adobe Flash. We are trying to figure out if<br>
these can be delivered either using Gnash (open source Flash<br>
prepackaged on the XO) or via HTML5. Will keep this list posted.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Sameer<br>
