The National Library of Medicine DevelopsMobile MedlinePlus
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) has recently developed amobile version of MedlinePlus. Users can now access theinformation resources of MedlinePlus anytime, anywhere. NLM hasalso created an FAQ that includes set-up instructions for Blackberryuser.
A 2008 report by the Pew Internet & American LifeProject predicts that by the year 2020, the majority of peopleworld-wide will be using a mobile device as their primary meansfor connecting to the Internet. Mobile devices are becomingincreasingly sophisticated. SmartPhones, iPhones and Androidsallow users to communicate, search the Internet and managedocuments. 3G networks and wifi make Internet access muchfaster with these devices. Third party applications extend theusefulness of the devices. Applications are being developed foreducational purposes, with the ability to listen to lectures viapodcasts and/or view videos of procedures. Mobile devicesallow users to access information in various locations includingthe bedside. Readily accessible, quality information can im-prove patient care and increase the health care professional’sknowledge.
The Biomedical Library (BL) has been offering referenceservice via text for several months. Many of the BL’s electronicresources either have mobile access or an interface that has beenoptimized for mobile devices. In this issue of Biofeedback,those resources will be highlighted. In addition, the BL hasdeveloped a mobile web page devoted to mobile technologies .This page will be updated as more applications and accessbecomes available.

CalculatorsDynaMed, an evidence-based, point-of-care decision support tool, has recently added over 500 clinical calculators de-
signed to aid health care practitioners in all aspects of clinical decision-making, from forming a diagnosis [or prognosis] toestimating a patient’s particular risk of disease.1 All ofthese resources are designed to help clinicians choosediagnostic tests and then interpret the results of thesetests.
To access DynaMed Calculators, go to the homepageof the Biomedical Library and click on “DatabaseList.” Next, click on the link entitled “DynaMed.”When the DynaMed search page opens, click on the“Calculators” link on the top right corner. When themain search page of DynaMed Calculators opens, notethat the left sidebar is divided into ten hyperlinkedsections, as follows:
1. Medical Equations2. Clinical Criteria3. Decision Trees4. Statistics Calculators5. Units & Dose Converters6. Search by Specialty7. Math Calculator8. Glossary9. References10. Send Comments to Editor
Clicking on any of the first seven section results in the openingof a new page, which is further subdivided. For example, thefirst category, “Medical Equations,” is subdivided alphabeticallyinto two hundred and fifty three [253] equations, from “A-aGradient” to “Z Score to Percentile Estimation.” As an illustra-tion, the “A-a Gradient” medical equation window is repro-duced above:
The second category, “Clinical Criteria,” is subdivided alpha-betically into two hundred and eighteen [218] criteria, from“Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) Toxicity Assessment” to“Waterlow Scale for Stratification of Pressure Sore Risk.” As anillustration, the “Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) Toxicity Assess-ment” window appears at the right:
“Decision Trees,” the third category, contains thirty-six [36]links, from “Anthrax Screening for Exposed Patients TreeCalc®” to “Warfarin Dosing TreeCalc®,” while “Statistics Calcula-tors,” the fourth category, contains forty-six [46] links, from “Bayesian Statistics I MultiCalc®” to “Z Score to PercentileEstimation.”
The fifth category “Unit and Dose Converters” contains twenty-nine [29] converters, from “Area Unit Conversions” to“Weight Unit Conversions.” To demonstrate, the “Weight Unit Conversion” tool calculated “718 drams [avoirdupois]” as being equivalentto “0.1 pood [Russian],” while the “Area Unit Conversion” tool calculated 40 square centimetres as being equivalent to 4000 square millimeters.
The “Search by Specialty” category allows the user to search by thirty-one [31] medical condition/disciplines across allother categories of calculators. To illustrate, clicking on “Hematology” allows the user to search all subcategories related toHematology in Medical Equations [Category 1] or Clinical Criteria [Category 2].

Just a few years ago the PDA was theking of portable applications and aboutthe only way to keep your contacts,appointments and various other personal data with you at alltimes. These devices were handy but required being physi-cally connected to a desktop computer to update data such asoutlook contacts or calendar events. The original PDA soongave way to smart phones which combined the cell phonewith the PDA and offered the ability to keep your data up todate over a wireless network (phone or access point).
Though it was not the first on the market, the one smartphone that has caught everyone’s eye and is probably themost popular is Apple’s iPhone. The iPhone is Unix basedand there are thousands of applications (~127,000)1 availablevia Apples online store, iTunes. The one drawback with theIphone is it is a closed system, and all new applications mustbe approved by Apple: users can only install the applicationsapproved by Apple.
Last year, Apple blocked an application that allowed usersto make free voip phone calls over the AT&T network. TheVOIP application was produced by Google and rather thancontinue to have to deal with Apple’s closed system, Googledecided to build their own smart phone operating systemcalled Android. The Android OS is built using parts of Linuxso in a technical way it is similar to the Iphone, but that iswhere the similarity ends.
Google designed Android to be an open system where anycompany can use the OS for their own smart phone hard-ware without cost. Application developers are also given freereign to develop applications with almost none of therestrictions imposed on Apple developers. This open systemshould speed development of both phone hardware andapplications.
Within about a year and a half since it’s debut, Android hasappeared on half a dozen new phones and released approxi-mately 16,000 applications.2 Google has recently turned upthe heat by releasing it’s own phone, the Nexus One. Whilethe Nexus One appears to be only incremently superior tothe Iphone, it’s openness could be a big draw to end users.Unlike most traditional cell phones, the Nexus One can bepurchased directly from Google without any contract and canbe used on several different phone networks. Later modelspromise to work on more networks so end users can switchproviders with ease if all goes according to plan. WhetherAndroid knocks the Iphone off the smart cell phone throneor not, this competition between open and closed systemsshould offer more choices and be good for both hardwaremanufacturers and end users.

The TRIP Database is a clinical searchengine designed to allow clinicians to quicklyfind answers to their clinical questions usingthe best available evidence.
Begun in 1997 in South Wales, UK, TRIPsearches the following categories of publica-tions:
• Evidence Based Synopses• Systematic Reviews• Guidelines (from Australia, New Zealand,
Canada, UK, USA)• Core primary research• E-Textbooks• Patient information
The free resource can be searched usingeither a basic or advanced search. A list ofsearch tips is available. You can register for afree TRIP account to keep track of yoursearching. There is not a special mobile inter-face, but TRIP has been optimized for theiPhone and also works with smart phones andAndroids.
