CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, October 10, 2003 —
Unbound Medicine
today announced that it has introduced six new PDA references on
its mobile knowledge management platform, CogniQ™. The CogniQ Pediatrics
Series includes leading pediatrics publications from
PocketMedicine
combined with Unbound Medicine’s unique literature management service,
Unbound MEDLINE.
Available for both Palm OS and Pocket PC handheld
devices, these products provide crucial information for clinicians caring
for pediatric patients, including physicians, nurses, residents
and students. “The CogniQ Pediatric Series delivers a tremendous
breadth and depth of information about pediatrics to generalists,
specialists and trainees alike,” said William Detmer, MD, president
of Unbound Medicine. “These products will help answer important
questions when and where they arise and keep users abreast of the
latest literature while on the go.”
Each product in the CogniQ Pediatrics Series contains
Unbound Medicine’s unique literature management service, Unbound
MEDLINE, together with one or more reference works:
Medical Literature in
your Hand
The Unbound MEDLINE service allows
users to track leading medical journals in their field and also
to capture questions on the handheld that are answered with in-depth
searches on the Web. Derived from data in the National Library of
Medicine’s PubMed® database, Unbound MEDLINE delivers table
of contents and abstracts from the latest journal issues directly
to your handheld on synchronization. If you encounter an article
of interest and want to read full text online, simply tap "More
online", sync, and link to the full text provided by the journal
publisher. In addition, you can capture questions on the handheld
when they arise and perform powerful searches of MEDLINE later while
online.
