Hey:
I recently got an IPHONE and started using the epocrates Iphone site, It is Horrible, many times will ask me to sign in then it will take me nowhere, or it is very slow to get the info, or the connection is not optimal especially in the hospital” where i mostly use the epocrates usually” and no response or connection.
it is frustrating,

My recommendation is if you are wanting to Buy an IPHONE and need to use the Epocrates software, or for that matter any medical software on your mobile phone, Wait for now until epocrates and Apple people decide to let us use the software on the Iphone.

Very frustrating,

Get out of medicine all together. If in med school, become a plumber or electrician. At least you can control your decisions and be your own person. If not, you will suffer from businessmen who believe they understand medicine, or doctors who believe they understand business. Either way, you are making other people wealthy at the expense of your med school loan, intelligence, and your patients.

Hey,
I am reading your information about the iphone and not having the approriate technology to support the medical program. Would you be able to install one of the medical programs is an iphone could accept third party software?

When will Epocrates come out. I am thinking of getting the itouch, but I also need lots of medical software, so I am also confused in getting the palm TX. I use lots of programs and also books on my palm all the time.
Thank you
Dr. Roxana

If you haven’t heard, Epocrates is soon to be on the iPhone. At today’s iPhone SDK event Apple hosted Epocrates, along with 4 other companies, to showcase products they are developing for the iPhone! Here’s the official Epocrates press release: http://www.geeknuz.com/nuz/2008/03/epocrates-press.html

Hi Epocrates Supporters!

It was recently announced that Epocrates is one of a limited number of developers who have been working directly with Apple to make its clinical content available on the iPhone/iTouch. This will enable healthcare professionals to always have immediate access to vital clinical information wherever and whenever they need it, regardless of Internet connectivity.

In the meantime, you can currently access Epocrates free online drug reference at m.epocrates.com with an Internet or WiFi connection.

**If you have already installed Apple’s iPhone or iTouch January update, you can now add an Epocrates Online shortcut to your home screen. To do this visit m.epocrates.com, click on the + sign at the bottom of the page. In the menu that appears, touch “Add to home screen”. Enter a name for the icon, then touch “Add” in the upper right corner.

Best wishes,

The Epocrates Team

Has anyone used one of the ‘fake’ iphones, like the Cect? Will they work with epocrates?

GREAT NEWS! Just spoke to Epocrates about the iPhone. They directed me to this website on the iPhone Safari Browser:

http://m.epocrates.com/iphone

It works perfectly! You can search medications, interactions, and it has all the features of epocrates. It works just as quickly as my old palm pilot (now broken, and not going to be replaced!).

They also said they would be creating a better program once Apple unlocks the phone to them.
