I also tried out the pill identifer at http://www.drugs.com/pill_identification.html. I found that it was fairly accurate at identifying pills. I tried several combinations of shapes and colors and it was interesting to me that there are gear- and figure eight- shaped pills.

I created a family medical history tree. I think it is an interesting mash-up of straight genealogy work and medical records. It would interesting to trace conditions, traits and diseases through the family tree across generations. It might even provide great information in the search for vaccines and cures for common ailments by providing a link to a person who might have shared their family cure-all with other members of the family.
