I can't quite understand what is actually part of GNU Health:

> Social Medicine and Public Health

> Bioinformatics and Medical Genetics

Are these that a piece of software? scopes? Intents?

> Hospital Management (HMIS)

Ok, now this is software for sure, but what exactly does this mean? There are many things to manage within a hospital. Is this software for managing inventories? Scheduling? Personnel assignments and organizational relations? Patient flow records? And - is most of this stuff really specific to hospitals? e.g. how is this different from managing, say, a hotel?

> Laboratory Management (Occhiolino)

Again not so clear what kind of management we're talking about.

> Personal Health Record (MyGNUHealth)

Ok, this I (think I) understand.

> GNU Health embedded on Single Board devices

What exactly needs to get embedded? And - what kind of device? It could be a Raspberry Pi, that's a single-board device, right? So, just another general-purpose computer, but on ARM-based silicon. Or - it could be an, I don't know, some kind of scanner, like a portable UltraSound.

Bottom line: I'm sure it's a collection of useful software but very difficult to figure out exactly what, and how it's specific to healthcare.
