Harvard:Biophysics 101/2007/Notebook:Info Output/

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)
 * Scholarly information links.
