Voice search on Google app for iPhone

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

iPhone is an incredible device. The entire medical literature (available on the internet) is in your hand. However, typing those long medical terms can sometimes be a pain.

Enter Google app with voice search. Just say the term as if you are talking with the phone and the application recognizes the search and outputs the results.

I wonder how well it would do if I searched for Bannayan-Zonana-Riley Syndrome!

(This app is yet to be released on the iTunes app store)

Update: November 17, 2008

Google search application has launched on the app store (iTunes Link).

Unfortunately, it did not work for Bannayan-Zonana Riley Syndrome. However, it was pretty good at recognizing most common diseases although it searched for “no motivation” a couple of times when I was searching for “adenoma sebaceum.” I did finally get it right.

Amazing!

Epocrates for iPhone

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

With the release of iPhone 3G (and software update v2.0), iPhone and iPod touch users can download and install applications. One of the most useful applications is undoubtedly epocrates to lookup drug monographs.

Having installed the iPhone version of epocrates, I have to say that it is very good. An internet connection is no longer needed to view drug information. It also contains a multiple drug interaction checker and pill pictures.
