Health Care Resources for Mobile Devices

Many health care professionals are using mobile devices in clinical settings to enhance patient care as well as their own continuing education.

We’ve recently updated our road map for
Mobile Computing : Smart Phones, PDAs, and PocketPCs (Affinity access only).


On it, you’ll find a listing of selected free and low-cost options for all types of mobile devices. Sources include options for :
* Drug info
* Differential diagnosis
* Point-of-care tools
* Calculators, and
* Gateways to even more options.

This list is not meant to be comprehensive. If you want to suggest an addition to the list, let me know. I’d love to hear what you’re using!
