Unbound Medicine Releases Comprehensive Suite of Pediatric References

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, October 10, 2003 — Unbound Medicine today announced that it has introduced six new PDA references on its mobile knowledge management platform, CogniQ. The CogniQ Pediatrics Series includes leading pediatrics publications from PocketMedicine combined with Unbound Medicine's unique literature management service, Unbound MEDLINE.

Available for both Palm OS and Pocket PC handheld devices, these products provide crucial information for clinicians caring for pediatric patients, including physicians, nurses, residents and students. "The CogniQ Pediatric Series delivers a tremendous breadth and depth of information about pediatrics to generalists, specialists and trainees alike," said William Detmer, MD, president of Unbound Medicine. "These products will help answer important questions when and where they arise and keep users abreast of the latest literature while on the go."

Each product in the CogniQ Pediatrics Series contains Unbound Medicine's unique literature management service, Unbound MEDLINE, together with one or more reference works:

Medical Literature in Your Hand

The Unbound MEDLINE service allows users to track leading medical journals in their field and also to capture questions on the handheld that are answered with in-depth searches on the Web. Derived from data in the National Library of Medicine's PubMed® database, Unbound MEDLINE delivers table of contents and abstracts from the latest journal issues directly to your handheld on synchronization. If you encounter an article of interest and want to read full text online, simply tap "More online", sync, and link to the full text provided by the journal publisher. In addition, you can capture questions on the handheld when they arise and perform powerful searches of MEDLINE later while online.
