What Hacker News says
4 sourcesNice library! Added here
https://github.com/kakoni/awesome-healthcare
In Show HN: DICOM Medical Image Parser in GoI saw this list linked yesterday from another HN article, might give some useful jumping off points: https://github.com/kakoni/awesome-healthcare
One related thing I found from there was a list of projects for magnetic resonance imaging specifically: https://ismrm.github.io/mrhub/
I'd assume trying to contribute to those projects would hopefully give greater ROI than building a new thing (without a very specific idea of what to build and the market for it)?
In Ask HN: What can I do to accelerate scientific research?There is an Awesome List[1] of open source healthcare projects. Also a quite nice blog[2] about various FOSS initiatives. Some of the important medical projects were accepted[3] in the Google Summer of Code this year.

In Medicine needs to embrace open source
