From OpenWetWare
Plan
General
- GOAL: Use MedStory (currently in beta - features and XML parsing may change) to deliver info that a newly-diagnosed user would be interested in seeing:
- Drugs and substances of interest
- Procedures
- Drugs in clinical studies
- Clinical trials
- Other possible information we should consider showing the patient:
- Experts
- Research centers
- Genes
Possible Issues
- Is it somewhat ethically suspect to simply swipe these things (even if they're credited) from MedStory?
- The format of MedStory does have XML-based (and thus, easily Python-parsable) sections, including News and Clinical Trials, but it doesn't have it for the bar-graphed items, which include information we really want to present to the user.
Tiff's Plan/Work
- Will try to figure out:
- Drugs
- Clinical trials
Deniz's Plan/Work
- Will write a function to retrieve
- Useful links (a more 'respectable' stable of sites)
- Ongoing Drug trials
