ePocrates

Today, I begin to combine medical and technology with my Blogsite. To
begin this new venture I will talk about ePocrates.
ePocrates is a Physician's guide to the universe of Medications thru
the PalmOS (and lately the PPC). To us Filipinos, it's the
digital-mobile version of PIMS. It's got all the FDA-approved drugs and
is updated weekly on a regular basis (this is done using Hotsync and
while connected to the internet). It has all the same literature that
you'll find in the inserts of medicines. It gives you both adult and
pediatric dosing, adverse reactions, mechanism of actions etc. with
ePocrates Rx PRO, as with others, you get more, like ePocrates ID, a
database of infectious agents; ePocrates Lab; database of different laboratory procedures. And all these are interconnected so diagnosis is just a few taps away.
