[erlang-questions] Erlang in healthcare or medical devices?

[Jesper Louis Andersen]

Another slightly relevant project is the one running the danish pharmacy
prescriptions. It is relevant for discussion as there are some unique
properties people tend to want out of such a system:

- High resilience. It can be fatal if prescriptions doesn't work for some
people. Thus, the system must be able to handle itself in case of partial
failure of some parts.
- Clear audit trail. It should be possible to know what happened to a given
prescription.

Interestingly, Richard Cook--also an anesthesiologist by trade--has written
some of the best work on complex system architectures:

His main point is that any complex system must be able to adapt in order to
have correct operation.
