Medical software for the BlackBerry

There are a growing number of medical software solutions for the BlackBerry. Here's a list to get you started:

• Epocrates
  
• Skyscape (they offer a suite a products)
• USBMIS (Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia, Sanford Guide)
  
• mobile MPR (Monthly Prescribing Reference)
  
• Unbound Medicine (like Skyscape, they offer a suite a products)
• PEPID
• Up to Date (via mobile web browser)
• QxMD
• mobilePDR (coming "back" soon)

This is a growing list (and this isn't a comprehensive list either). I simply wanted to highlight some of the more popular options that are out there. Navigation is often quite limited if you don't have a touch screen on your device, regardless of your operating system. The BlackBerry Storm 2 should be coming out soon (and may appear on more networks if rumors are true).

Another drug reference application for the BlackBerry

I've written about this in the past, but since I get so many questions regarding the BlackBerry, I thought I'd point this out again. Here's another drug reference application for the BlackBerry: Mobile MPR (Monthly Prescribing Reference)

Currently, they have this available for:

• BlackBerry OS 4.1 or higher
  
• Windows Mobile/ Pocket PC
  
• Palm OS
  

What's missing? Apple iPhone, Google Android, and webOS for the Palm Pre.

This application will only take 3-5 MB of space, so to download it and try it out, visit: http://www.empr.com/

Now, you can get the digital version (eMPR) for free. They currently have software for Palm OS, Windows Mobile, and BlackBerry. They don't have software for the Apple iPhone yet, but it sounds like they're working on it. The software developer is USBMIS.

Here's a short blurb from their website: "Download the MPR Mobile & Desktop Edition for free access to over 4,000 up-to-date, concise drug monographs on your computer or mobile device."
