Junior doctors are involved in sickness certification, but there is a lack of training at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and many are unaware of formal guidance. The majority of junior doctors are concerned about lack of knowledge in this area and to a lesser extent in assessing patients' capacity to work. A simple educational module could improve confidence, knowledge and skills in sickness certification.

This paper presents a Zynq capable version of GNU Radio -an open-source rapid radio deployment tool -with an enhanced flow that utilizes the processing capability of FPGAs. This work features TFlow -an FPGA back-end compilation accelerator for instant FPGA assembly. The Xilinx Zynq FPGA architecture integrates the FPGA fabric and CPU onto a single chip, which eliminates the need for a controlling host computer; thus, providing a single, portable, low-power, embedded platform. By exploiting the computational advantages of FPGAs in the GNU Radio flow, a larger class of software defined radios can be implemented. Once the FPGA is programmed with a design, modules can be parameterized to realize an even larger class of applications and further solidify the concept of rapid assembly of software defined radios.
