The PUMA Repository is a collection of Pascal units that sup ports software development for medical informatics. It contains reusable source code for programming in a wide field of health-care application development. The code includes converting functions for units of measurement (Unit Converter) and engines for complex data formt like EDF and HL7.

PUMA's Unit Converter is a set of Pascal code that comes with test cases for Lazarus / Free Pascal, Embarcadero Delphi and RAD Studio. It provides functions for parsing measurements consisting of numeric values and units of measurement. It also supports conversion of measurements from one unit to another one.

The HL7 Engine is a library of Object Pascal units that provide functions for parsing and compiling Health Level 7 messages as well as for reading and writing messages as files or streams.



PUMA 's EDFp lus engine is an Object Pascal library that supports reading, writing, parsing and composing multichannel biological and physical signals in the Europ ean Data Format (EDF) or its successor EDF+.
