[Health] Absolute beginner, still trying to understand if gnu health is what I am looking for...

[giorgio . denunzio]

Hi all,
I have found gnu health just an hour ago, so please be patient, but I am
trying to understand if the software fits my needs.

I am looking for a tool to have satellite hospitals stock their DICOM
images and other medical information/exams to a central remote database.
In point of fact this is a (almost) unidirectional communication problem,
so I could simply put a postgreSQL database on a remote server
 and send data from the clients, but if some more advanced solution
exists, which also gives me a framework in which a more complete medical
record of patients can be maintained (with different exams, images...),
I'd be happier and more prepared for future extensions of the project.

Gnu health looks a possible choice, as I have read that it can be used to
stock patients' images.
So far I have downloaded the tryton client, and connected to the demo
database.

Questions:
1) is gnu health good for me? Can I send images (e.g. dicomdir) and other
data from the client? How?
2) is the tryton client the only choice to access the database? As my aim
is data sending and storing, I want to give the physician a very simple
interface (e.g. (a) choose the patient id, (b) select the data type, such
as CT image or blood smear test, (c) attach the file(s), dicom or a scan,
(d) send): can I use some gnu health API to do this and code myself a
simple client side?
3) where should I set the language? I wish it to work in italian: is this
a server-side option?

As I said in the beginning, please be patient for my newbie questions, but
some answers can make me save a lot of time...

Thanks
Best regards
Giorgio
