smiviewerWith health care reform being all the rage, Open Source projects are becoming popular topics as alternatives to the incredibly expensive and complex software suites in use today.  Smarter Technology has a great list of 10 open-source projects targeted at health and medicine, including a few great data visualization tools.

Assuming debate moves beyond “You’re stupid. No you are,” health care reform will require new ways of lowering costs and de-siloing tens of thousands of sickly complex systems. Even if the current overhaul stalls (and maybe especially so), we’ll still need fresh collaboration, technology and ideas.

Of note is a particular fav of mine, SMIViewer, which made #9.
