Epocrates Drug Reference Now on iPhone

Filed under: Informatics

Epocrates has recently released a formated version of its free online drug reference specifically for the Apple iPhone. As a number of companies are doing, forced by the Apple iPhone lockdown, Epocrates is providing access via the built-in Safari browser instead of building a full application for the device.

Epocrates company representative tells Medgadget:

While it's not currently possible to download Epocrates software to an iPhone device, Apple recently announced that in early 2008 software developers will be able to begin to create applications for iPhone devices. We are excited to explore the opportunity to offer our mobile products on this new platform as well.

For BlackBerry users, a new version of Epocrates free mobile application is now also available via a wireless download here.

You may have caught a glimpse of Epocrates' much anticipated iPhone native application during the SDK event in March. We are excited to announce that healthcare professionals can now download Epocrates free clinical software on their iPhone and iPod Touch for free!

The Epocrates drug and formulary reference is already the featured Health & Fitness download in the App Store. Designed specifically for the iPhone platform, the clinical software features a drug identifier tool that helps doctors determine a patient's existing medication with a physical description (e.g., round, blue and scored).

See why patient visits may never be the same with the visually rich pill pictures and important prescribing information at http://www.epocrates.com/products/rx/iphone.html .

Best Wishes,
Epocrates Team!
