CME2PDA

Tom Cobin from CME2PDA wrote in: Hello, I’d like to make you aware of CME2PDA, a new product available for physicians to complete CME on their PDAs.

Agendus for PPC released

Agendus is a great PIM replacement for PalmOS. No doctor who uses a Palm should be without one. If you have a PPC, you might have tried Agenda Fusion or Pocket Informant. These are pretty cluttered and cumbersome apps IMHO. PPC users can now rejoice for Iambic has now launched Agendus For PPC Supports WM5 [...]

Blocking unwanted calls

One of the downsides about mobile phones is that they sometimes can be a nuisance. Ever had inconsiderate patients call you up at 11 pm at night and say “Doc, I ran out of meds, what should I do?”. What did I do? Held my breath, counted from 1 to 10 before composing my reply, [...]

Alternatives to Paging

The pager is dead, at least in my hospital where most of my colleagues (and I) have stopped using pagers. Cellular phone coverage nowadays is very good and previously people used to carry pagers because of good coverage but it means carrying an extra device and paying for an extra service (unless your hospital provides [...]

Mobile Pubmed

Apart from MD on Tap, you could also surf over to Pubmed’s Mobile site to perform your literature searches. This screenshot shows what it looks like in Opera Mini on a Treo 680. Tags: Palm, Treo

New co-blogger

I’d like to extend a warm welcome to Dr. Kent Willyard of Ectopic Brain fame. Kent has kindly volunteered his time to co-blog here and his vast experience and knowledge on Palm matters would be a tremendous boon to all PDA users. You can view all the co-bloggers on this site in the About page [...]
