Ohio State University Medical Center developed programs on the iphone and ipod touch for medical students and physicians. Used for education of med students as well as patient care. iMurmur: your guide to heart sounds, lectures as pod casts, access to online databases such as pubmed are a few examples of utilization of these devices. Have a look at the video to see some examples.

Good wifi connection in the hospital ensures quick delivery of searches like a wireless laptop.

Thanks David Rothman who also co authored a very interesting book: Internet Cool Tools for Physicians, reviewed on this blog.

  1. iPhone is now used in the whole world for different reasons, it’s nice that now it is used as a Medical tool, not only for physicians but for patients too. All this new mobile technology has demonstrated to be useful not only for fun. In fact recently I hear of some Physicians working to create an educational videogame for iPhone. All Physicians interested in videos on Medical Topics, visit Symposier site.
