In this episode our two FLOSS enthusiasts focus on free and open source software in the healthcare sector, a much debated subject as this can be close to life or death for some people. Even if you're not affected now, chances are you will be - whether that's a pace maker running on closed source software or some, in contrast, other medical device powered by a pure FLOSS stack. So don't miss out on this episode.
