"Yesterday morning, Dr. Matthew Leibowitz synced his Palm to his computer and got a memo about anthrax, botulism and plague. The message was the first tryout of a government-sponsored system that would alert frontline health care workers of bioterrorist attacks. If there had been an actual terrorist attack, he would have received up-to-date information from the Centers for Disease Control about how the disease could be treated."
The service is available on Palm and Pocket PC software through the ePocrates software program. I didn't realize that over 700,000 medical professionals used that app. If you are interested in the application, you may want to check out our product review.
