iMurmur: Medical School on the iPhone

iMurmur: Your Guide to Heart Sounds, an iPhone and iPod Touch application, is seeking to revitalize medical school education and iTunes users are listening. In 3 days, iMurmur has risen to the top of the medical category and has received enthusiastic reviews.

San Diego, CA, July 19, 2009 --(PR.com)-- iMurmur: Your Guide to Heart Sounds, is a medical application for the iPhone and iPod Touch released by Phalanx Development to Apple's iTunes Store on July 14, 2009. The title of the application references a "murmur," which is a heart beat that is abnormal. Heart beats and heart murmurs are heard through a doctor's stethoscope and are essential to diagnosing heart disease. Now, anyone with an iPhone and a pair of earphones can try their hand at diagnosing heart murmurs without the need for an M.D. Through a series of quizzes focusing on the most common heart problems, iMurmur teaches its users to recognize and identify what is wrong with the heart. The iPhone medical community has embraced iMurmur's addicting approach to medical education, helping it soar to the #2 ranked application in the medical category. Its march to the top took less than 3 days.

For young doctors, nurses, and EMTs, iMurmur comes at a perfect time. The U.S. Center for Disease Control reports that heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in the United States accounting for 27% of yearly deaths. Along with the fact that the elderly population is on the rise, health care professionals need to be more knowledgeable and seasoned than ever. iMurmur proposes that there is no better way to ensure stethoscope expertise, than through combining medical school with a trendy iPhone application. Will iMurmur pave the way for a new, more enjoyable and efficient standard of medical school education? The world will be listening...
