Charlottesville, VA, July 2,
2007—Today, Unbound Medicine, a leader
in knowledge management solutions and mobile information resources
for healthcare, announced the delivery of leading medical
content to the new iPhone™ from Apple, Inc. Now physicians
and nurses can use the iPhone to quickly consult a wealth

Unbound Medicine offers a wide choice of medical products
for the iPhone, placing emphasis on well known, regularly
updated references. Among the popular titles available are
Harrison’s Manual of Medicine and Pocket
Guide to Diagnostic Tests from McGraw-Hill, 5-Minute
Clinical Consult from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins,
Red Book® from the American Academy of Pediatrics,
and Davis’s Drug Guide and Taber’s
Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary from F.A. Davis. Unbound
MEDLINE rounds out the offering, allowing clinicians to track
favorite medical journals and quickly search more than 17
million journal articles.
Unbound Medicine’s customized iPhone interface takes
full advantage of the built-in Safari™ web browser to
give health professionals quick answers over cellular and WiFi networks. Users navigate intuitively |
by tapping on index terms or by entering searches into clinician-friendly
forms. Cross-links and lists of related content instantly
take a clinician from a disease management discussion to a
drug monograph for the correct dose, possible interactions,
and adverse effects of a recommended medication.
“Typically 70% of clinical questions go unanswered.
Now, with pocket-sized internet devices we can bring medical
knowledge to the point of need, thereby improving patient
care and reducing medical errors,” said Bill Detmer,
MD, President and CEO of Unbound Medicine. “By adding
the iPhone to the long list of devices supported by the Unbound™
Platform we can help busy doctors and nurses stay abreast
of the latest developments in their fields.”
Since its inception in 2000, Unbound Medicine has helped
more than 500,000 healthcare professionals find answers to
patient care questions wherever they arise. The company’s
unique approach is to combine expertise in medical informatics
