[Nottingham] [Talk] THIS WED 16/03/05 Guest Speaker: Anasthesia in Linux

[Martin]

Folks,

We are honoured this week to have

Dr R W D Nickalls
Consultant Anaesthetist

to present details of how linux is directly helping in the operating 
theatre.

With life online, would you trust any other OS?

He is using linux to replace a DOS based system for monitoring 
anaesthesia in the operating theatre in real time to aid the 
anaesthetist. He also has a wish-list of many further developments for 
the system.

There is no commercial equipment available that meets all the needs.

Can FOSS pick up the heart beat?
