The Harvard Health Publications, the publishing division of Harvard Medical School, has launched an iPhone application focused on the H1N1 flu pandemic. The H1N1 iPhone application draws on the extensive knowledge of the experts at Harvard Medical School along with its long-standing expertise in publishing health information for the general public.
The H1N1 flu iPhone application includes science-based information on the state of the pandemic’s spread; practical steps people can take to mitigate their risk of infection; key symptoms to watch for; and how to act in case of a suspected infection. The application includes video content as well as text, animated illustrations, and links to government databases. In addition, the application provides businesses with specific information on how to best prepare their enterprises for managing through the pandemic, developed in collaboration with Harvard Business School Publishing.
The H1N1 iPhone application is the first of a series of such applications that will be part of HMSMobile, which was developed in cooperation with The Imagine Network as a strategic partner. With HMSMobile, doctors and scientists at Harvard Medical School seek to provide people with knowledge and skills that will improve their health. Over time HMSMobile plans to expand its offerings to include content for additional platforms beyond the iPhone series.
