Unbound Medicine, a US-based provider of knowledge management solutions for the healthcare industry, has announced the extension of the Unbound Platform with multi-dimensional capabilities for Apple's iPad. This latest platform enhancement delivers in one application instant lookup of trusted content, powerful content personalisation, push communications alerts, and knowledge sharing among friends and colleagues.
Unbound's platform enhancement arrives as many students and practitioners adopt the iPad for day-to-day knowledge management. Manhattan Research estimates that 30 percent of US physicians already own an iPad and 28 percent plan to purchase one in the next six months. Medical schools, nursing programmes, and healthcare systems are also exploring how the iPad and other tablet devices can support clinical decision-making from any location.
Unbound's iPad-optimised solutions serve as a home base for healthcare professionals. With universal search, users can find answers instantly from leading databases, texts, journals, news feeds, and interactive tools without the need for a continuous internet connection. Content, tools, and favorites can be customised to meet each user's personal needs. Push communications alerts including news, product announcements, renewal messages, and sponsor messages can be sent to the device on a dynamic schedule and segmented by user geography, role, or area of interest.
Furthermore, by using content creation and sharing tools such as Unbound's Grasp, users and organisations can build interactive learning and practice tools that can be shared informally with friends and colleagues or formally with class groups and association members.
iPad extends Unbound's growing network of supported platforms, including the web, Apple iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Palm.
