Evening,

I've been thinking about programming an app that would hopefully be able to conduct a crude audio exam or screening on patients over the Internet.

I am not sure which language/s I should use and whether or not I'd have to use an SQL database on the backend to store 'patient' responses for retrieval at a later time.

Audios work by checking maybe 10 frequencies on each ear. The volume of each frequency is successively reduced until you reach the patients threshold. Then you proceed to the next frequency. So, I guess I could use their pressing the space bar as an acknowledgment of audible beeps and then record the level at which responses stopped as their threshold.

I would appreciate anyone's advice on what software is best suited to implement this over the web and I'd appreciate any other advice on other things.

PS - I would use a web site and it's not hosted on my personal PC.

Thanks,

Ethan

You'll probably need a mixture of HTML, JavaScript, and a server-side scripting language. If you want to store data in a database, then MySQL would be a good choice as well.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

You could do this using Flash as well. It may lead to a more interactive hearing exam.

Thanks guys. I'm glad I asked. I wouldn't have been too happy to have done hours of work using less-than-ideal resources.

Have a good Memorial Day.
