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.

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