• Finished an excellent book on public health informatics while on holiday in Mumbai and Rajasthan; as an entirely unqualified IT hobbyist it was good to see I have done some things right, but I also learned a lot about successful implementation of informatics projects in low and middle-income countries; my notes and reflections on the book are here.
  • Now that I am fairly happy with my Proxmox data centre implementation I have been extensively evaluating OpenELIS and SENAITE for open source laboratory information management; finding some pain points in both options but I think SENAITE is our best option; currently finding my way around the OpenMRS electronic health record platform and will post on that in due course. But this is all looking increasingly unlike a one-man job…
  • Am putting out there my personal information security checklist in case useful to others. Most countries are a long way from achieving this.
