Pediatric PDA Blog

There are many PDA applications and portals that help us search the medline right from our devices [check this Pda4peds category for a list of these]. But, the Unbound Medline, is a special way of searching the Medline as it is packed with features that are missing from the others.

Here’s how it looked on the Windows Mobile screen;

And here’s how it looks on the iPod Touch;

Comparing the above two screens it’s obvious how the iPhone platform supersedes, with wonderful colors and a large screen which translates to more content per look and with all the “wow factor” that iPhone’s Touch technology adds to the experience.

Just type www.unboundmedicine.com/medline on your device and you will be taken to this free service.

This mobile website is a smart website in that it can recognize whether you are visiting it through your iPhone, iPod Touch Safari or through some other mobile devices so that it changes its skin to fit the platform.

It can also be visited by the desktop also. But why should we visit a third party website when the actual PubMed website is there and fully functional. However, it is definitely helpful when we want to look up the Medline through our mobile device.

This is not new to Unbound Medicine as they were the pioneers in introducing a Medline search function into their popular Mobile Merck Medicus software.

The new features here included the following:

• A special disease section and special drug look up category and even a medical news filter.
• Advanced search functionality with optional emphasis and level of evidence.
• The abstract is linked to the original journal website and the link can be shared with a friend via send email function.

This is, without doubt, the place where we want to be when it comes to looking up the medline on our devices.

You can also get the Unbound Medline as search option when you download our LinkedPeds Toolbar.
