• EveryDesk! Linux desktop designed for healthcare. Facilitates desktop virtualisation

  

  Excerpt from Some EveryDesk Use Cases by Carlo Daffara:

  While developing EveryDesk we identified a few potential use cases, and I would like to explain what advantage our hybrid model can have:

  * Hospital worker: our initial use case. We designed the system so that national regulations in the handling of sensitive data could be complied to without any specific effort on the side of the user; that is, to make nearly impossible for the worker to lose or disseminate data without an explicit and voluntary breach of confidentiality, and make it possible to identify such breach immediately. By moving user data on a centrally managed server, standard logging and identity management techniques can be applied easily to prevent data loss; as no private data is on the key (including passwords), losing the key or having it stolen is not sufficient to breach the system privacy. For our health care customization we added to the basic image an excellent radiology workstation system called O3, already in use in some Italian hospitals, a medical dictionary and some ancillary tools like the ImageJ image processing system.
