"A smartphone isn’t just a phone. It’s a miniature computer. We surf the web,
email, play games, and—thanks to the rapidly expanding world of smartphone
applications (“apps”)–use our smartphones and other wireless devices as tools
for the workplace. The field of medicine is changing rapidly with the growth of
available medical apps. Today, physicians can monitor a patient’s vital signs,
download their patient schedules, access current patient medical records,
dictate office notes, and consult with other physicians without entering a
clinical setting.
One of the first medical apps in use—and arguably the
most widely used medical app today—is Epocrates, which provides clinical information on thousands
of prescription and over-the-counter drugs."
