So not only the TV and the Internet has been flooded by Swine flu news. Medical PDA developers quickly responded and posted updates right into our handhelds.

Meistermed published a new updated iSilo document that can be downloaded into any mobile here’s an iPod Touch example;

The above iSilo document is also available for all other platforms a free download from this page http://www.meistermed.com/swineflu and the iSilo reader is available for all platforms here and for your iPhone/iPod Touch download it from iTunes here.

It includes last hour information updates as it’s released from the CDC. However, it’s not automatically updated and you’d have redownload the file should it gets updated.

A long time Palm and iSilo hard-liner is showing strong attraction towards the new era, the iPhone…

The founder of Meistermed and all other products where you find the word meister, ICDmeister, Dermeister, and PCodemeister to name some of them.

The San Jose based MD is leaving the Palm and iSilo behind. First he started writing his popular titles on the iPhone but still on an iSilo reader. In fact, Meistermed titles are one of the biggest reason why we should ever think of buying the iPhone’s iSilo app. Then, now, he must have realized the iSilo headaches and started making a stand-alone iPhone and iPod Touch apps of the same great titles.

The first title to appear was the ICDMeister, here’s how it looks on the iPod Touch;

This is a great ICD coding app for only $3.99 annual subscription. Similar apps may reach $30! Update: the price will change soon [see comments below].

Seamless flow and unmatched rapid access to the code that we want. Search by disease, abbreviation, or by code. The home page is a great list of categories simplifying the navigation, and yes the pediatric category is there.

Polling for the Best Coding and Billing reference on the handheld has kicked off recently on Pda4peds, have your say..
