UpToDate is one of the most widely used online medical reference works, even regarded by some as the universal textbook of medicine. A mobile app has been anticipated for a long time, and finally an iPhone and iPod touch app has recently been released. The app provides full access to UpToDate’s content, including physician topics, drug topics and patient information. It has autocomplete search and includes some handy clinical calculators.
Now the bad news: it is only available for individual subscribers, and then even limited to U.S. subscribers and it still needs internet connectivity. However, UpToDate is working on at least two of these three issues: there will be a solution for institutional subscribers and an offline version is in development. iMedicalapps has a thorough overview of the app, linked below.
