Openpump – An Open Source Syringe Pump With 3D Printing & Bioprinting Potential
Openpump, an open-source syringe pump made to dispense fluids over a set period of time, is just like the syringe pumps used to administer medication in hospitals and laboratory environments. Most often used to perform chemical or biomedical research, pumps like this open-source version could easily be used for 3D printing extrusion of paste or as part of a 3D bioprinter for outputting biological materials...

OSEHRA 2014: Taking The Pulse Of The Open Health IT At The OSEHRA Open Source Summit
Earlier this month, the 2014 OSEHRA Open Source Summit took place in Bethesda, MD, gathering global leaders in both public and private health IT to discuss the future of electronic health records (EHR) and open source initiatives in health care. This three-day conference is hosted by OSEHRA, the Open Source Electronic Health Record Alliance, which was formed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to support the open source community around its VistA EHR – the largest open source EHR in the U.S. I spoke with OSEHRA President and CEO Dr. Seong K. Mun about the activity that took place at this month’s event and the evolving role of open source within health IT.

Peering into Complex, Tiny Structures with 3D Analysis Tool Tomviz
New open source software tomviz—short for tomographic visualization—enables researchers to interactively understand large 3D datasets. More specifically, the software analyzes 3D tomographic data similar to a medical CT-scan but at the nanoscale. "When you can take a nanoparticle or biomolecule and spin it around, slice it, look inside it, and quantitatively analyze it, you get a complete picture from all angles," says Yi Jiang, a physics Ph.D. candidate at Cornell University. Watch this 3-minute video from the Michigan Engineering department....

Python-based Open Source Eye Tracking Tool
I have a deep interest in educational psychology, and so I was fascinated by what I read about PyGaze—an open source toolbox for eye tracking in Python. The website told me that it runs on Linux, but I wanted to learn more about eye tracking and the role it plays in psychological research. I also wanted to know more about the project and how it is contributing to research and its implications for open source. In this interview, the lead developer for the project, Edwin Dalmaijer, who works at the University of Oxford's Department of Experimental Psychology doing research and programming, provides a fascinating description of PyGaze and the significance of eye tracking in research...

Raxa - Open source EMR software for rural healthcare systems
Many people in this world do not have ready access to healthcare providers and have little or no control over their personal health information. The few who do have access are starting to see the potential benefits of using information technology (IT) like electronic medical record (EMR) system to improve their own health. These systems offer an opportunity to reduce healthcare costs while simultaneously improving quality of care. This is particularly true of Raxa, an 'open source' EMR project based in India.

ReFigure – Connecting Scientific Insights Across the Web
Today, we are introducing ReFigure, a new science curation and publication tool supported by the eLife Innovation Initiative. ReFigure is a chrome extension and website that allows researchers to connect new and previously reported findings across publisher websites and repositories. It is currently in beta and being developed in the open on GitHub... ReFigure was born from an idea that research outputs should be incremental, immediately connected to published findings and not confined to the websites of individual journals...

Rethinking Open Source Collaboration
The open source world has been through a significant period of change in the last fifteen years. What started out as volunteers getting together to work on projects for fun has now turned into a billion-dollar industry. Although the spotlight is shone on open source more than ever before and the technology and tools have evolved, the core fundamentals of how we build open source software are still the same at their core – yet the rigor and quality expectations have changed. I think this is a great opportunity for our wider community as well as an organization.
