Beiks Updates Pocket Medical Encyclopedia

Posted By: Ryan Monday, November 15, 2004 7:07:20 PM

Beiks has announced a major upgrade to its MedicineNet Pocket Medical Encyclopedia for Palm OS handheld devices. The reference guide now includes more than 15,000 entries of medical terms, written and compiled entirely by U.S. board certified physicians, for access to healthcare related information wherever a user may need it.

Often, the times a person needs quick answers to medical questions they are not near a desktop computer or printed medical encyclopedia. The MedicineNet Pocket Medical Encyclopedia enables anyone with a Palm OS PDA or smartphone to carry vast amounts of information in their pocket or purse. The information found in the Pocket Medical Encyclopedia includes not only standard medical terms but also pertinent scientific items, abbreviations, acronyms, jargon, institutions, projects, symptoms, syndromes, eponyms, and medical history.

The MedicineNet Pocket Medical Encyclopedia comes equipped with the latest version of Beiks’ award-winning BDicty Dictionary Reader, enabling users to view a wide variety of reference works available from Beiks.com. The newest version of BDicty has been upgraded with improved navigation features that have been requested by users. Further, BDicty now offers advanced data compression and cross-linkage between data files to significantly decrease the size of the data while increasing the number of entries available in the encyclopedia. The result is a 50% increase in content data, yet a 40% decrease in the required memory resources of the handheld device.

Beiks“Beiks is committed to offering the best and most comprehensive medical reference resources for both consumers and medical practitioners,” said Bobby Kolev, president of Beiks LLC. “We are proud that our customers include thousands of happy consumers who need ready access to medical information, but also hospitals, medical facilities, and EMS centers.”

The MedicineNet Pocket Encyclopedia, including the enhanced Beiks Dictionary Reader, is available for US$39.95 [BUY].

...the Tungsten T5 doesn't have wi-fi and will therefore be the bane of PalmOne.

Latin phrase meaning, "It does not follow." The characteristic feature of arguments that fail to provide adequate support for their conclusions, especially those that commit one of the fallacies of relevance.
