Task: Tools
Description: Debian-Med several tools
 This meta package will install tools for several purposes in health care.
 Currently it just depends from mencal.    Please note
 that there also recommended and only suggested packages which are not
 installed in any circumstance but only if the user asks for installing these.

Depends: mencal, cycle

Suggests: cl-pubmed
Why:      Strong dependency would cost installing a large amount of Common Lisp tools which in most cases is not worth the effort


Why: Netepi should go into med-research, but this section has not yet an existing package
Depends: netepi-analysis

Pkg-Description: network-enabled tools for epidemiology and public health practice
 NetEpi, which is short for "Network-enabled Epidemiology", is a collaborative
 project to create a suite of free, open source software tools for epidemiology
 and public health practice. Anyone with an interest in population health
 epidemiology or public health informatics is encouraged to examine the prototype
 tools and to consider contributing to their further development. Contributions
 which involve formal and/or informal testing of the tools in a wide range of
 circumstances and environments are particularly welcome, as is assistance with
 design, programming and documentation tasks.
 .
 This is a tool for conducting epidemiological analysis of data sets, both large
 and small, either through a Web browser interface, or via a programmatic
 interface. In many respects it is similar to the analysis facilities included
 in the Epi Info suite, except that NetEpi Analysis is designed to be installed
 on servers and accessed remotely via Web browsers, although it can also be
 installed on individual desktop or laptop computers.
 .
 The software was developed by New South Wales Department of Health.

 NetEpi Case Manager is a tool for securely collecting structured
 information about cases and contacts of communicable (and other)
 diseases through Web browsers and the Internet. New data collection
 forms can be designed and deployed quickly by epidemiologists, using a
 "point-and-click" interface, without the need for knowledge of or
 training in any programming language. Data can then be collected from
 users of the system, who can be located anywhere in the world, into a
 centralised database. All that is needed by users of the system is a
 relatively recent Web browser and an Internet connection ("NetEpi"
 is short for "Network-enabled Epidemiology"). In many respects,
 NetEpi Case Manager is like a Web-enabled version of the data entry
 facilities in the very popular Epi Info suite of programmes published by
 the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and in the Danish
 EpiData project, which is available for several languages. The software
 was developed by the Centre for Epidemiology and Research of the New
 South Wales Department of Health, with contributions from Population
 Health Division of the Australian Government Department of Health and
 Ageing.
