/24-7PressRelease.com/ - Beiks LLC announces a major upgrade to its MedicineNet Pocket Medical Encyclopedia for Palm OS and Pocket PC handheld devices. The reference guide now includes more than 15,000 entries of medical terms, written and compiled entirely by U.S. board certified physicians, which can provide quick and easy access to healthcare related information whenever and wherever a user may need it.
Often, the times a person needs quick answers to medical questions they are not near a desktop computer or printed medical encyclopedia. The MedicineNet Pocket Medical Encyclopedia enables anyone with a Palm OS or Pocket PC PDA or smartphone to carry vast amounts of information in their pocket or purse. The information found in the Pocket Medical Encyclopedia includes not only standard medical terms but also pertinent scientific items, abbreviations, acronyms, jargon, institutions, projects, symptoms, syndromes, eponyms, and medical history.
The MedicineNet Pocket Medical Encyclopedia comes equipped with the latest version of Beiks’ award-winning BDicty Dictionary Reader, enabling users to view a wide variety of reference works available from Beiks.com. The newest version of BDicty has been upgraded with improved navigation features that have been requested by users. Further, BDicty now offers advanced data compression and cross-linkage between data files to significantly decrease the size of the data while increasing the number of entries available in the encyclopedia. The result is a 50% increase in content data, yet a 40% decrease in the required memory resources of the handheld device.
“Beiks is committed to offering the best and most comprehensive medical reference resources for both consumers and medical practitioners,” said Bobby Kolev, president of Beiks LLC. “We are proud that our customers include thousands of happy consumers who need ready access to medical information, but also hospitals, medical facilities, and EMS centers.”
The MedicineNet doctors are proud to have authored the Webster’s New World™ Medical Dictionary First and Second Editions published by Wiley Publishing, Inc.
MedicineNet’s content is used by libraries, government agencies, doctor’s offices, pharmacy networks, hospitals, insurance organizations, medical schools, and other healthcare organizations worldwide.
"The MedicineNet Pocket Encyclopedia gives quick and convenient access to important medical information to users of mobile devices,” said William C. Shiel, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.P., Chief Medical Editor and co-founder of MedicinetNet.com. "Each entry is written in lay language to present helpful insights into health and medical issues. At MedicineNet, we take advantage of the doctor's role as educator to bring medical information to you!"
The MedicineNet Pocket Encyclopedia, including the enhanced Beiks Dictionary Reader, is available at http://www.beiks.com for US$39.95.
