- Popular/Recommended Individual Sites:
These are some individual products that have either been recommended or look useful. Some are not free. Please let us know your favorites:
- ePocrates
- Rx is one of the most popular drug databases around - fast info on indications, dosing and mechanism of
action, with room for your own notes. Rx is free but only for the basic PalmOS version for PC users. PocketPC and Mac users would need
to pay for the RxPro version. We recommend trying UCSD's Mobile Micromedex before paying out of pocket for drug information.
- HandHeldMed: Mobile Content
- Keep up with any of about 20 different medical journals. Handheldmed makes the table of contents and abstracts available
via AvantGo.
- JournaltoGo
- Clinical abstracts and healthcare news from journals in MEDLINE, updated weekly. Search "channels" are pre-programmed
for clinical topics - you can't put in your own specific search.
- Kaplan Medical: "to go" series
- Palm versions of Kaplan's USMLE study tools - so far the site includes Anatomy, excerpts from the Qbank series, and PharmDeck. Anatomy is $15,
and the PharmDeck and Qbank questions are free after registering with Kaplan.
- MedCalc
- An "awesome" collection of medical equations.
- MedLabRef
- Normal values for 160 medical lab test ranges. Be sure to follow installation instructions carefully - this works with your
Memo application so is not installed the same way as other independent applications or documents. $10 shareware.
- An alternative is the Lab Values
folio written for the TealInfo program.
- MedMath
- Another medical calculator.
- MedRevu
- "The popular Recall Series books are now available for your PDA." These are board review question books, offered on a
subscription basis.
- MedScape Mobile
- MedScape is a big medical portal site with some mobile/PDA content. Makes the Tarascon e-Pharmacopoeia available free ($7.95 direct from the
Tarascon company) along with an article reader and journal-watch type content for which their own reader is needed. All free
for now but you have to register with MedScape first.
- Nephro-To-Go
- "Highly recommended by Dr. O'Connor for general renal knowledge and all the equations you could possibly need. It
takes only 211KB and is well worth the space" (CR)
- PatientKeeper
- PatientTracker
