HAPI
http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/
HAPI (HL7 application programming interface) is an open-source, object-oriented HL7 parser. The main distinguishing feature of HAPI is that it uses specific Java classes to represent each HL7 message structure. This allows it to enforce the structural validity of your messages when you compile your code, and to enforce the validity of field data at run time, with Java Exceptions. Source code for messages is generated automatically from HL7’s database of standard messages.

iPath – Telemedicine Framework
http://ipath.sourceforge.net
iPath is an open source framework for building telepathology/telemedicine applications. At the core is the open source iPath-Server, an extsible telemedicine database sever with a web based interface. The iPath Server provides something like a medical discussion forum, where cases can be easily presented to others, discussed and commented within dedicated user groups. Besides a case database, iPath also provides additional modules. E.g. with the remote microscopy module you can remote control a motorised microscope over internet (currently iPath supports Leica Mikcroscopes and will soon be adapted to Merzhaeuser stage controller) As iPath is a very flexible system there are many different possibilities of using it. * Discuss difficult cases within dedicated user groups. * Collect different information of one cases from different sources. * Conenct your microscope to the Internet and share it with others. * Provide feedback to senders of specimen by presenting them images of i
