PEPID Launches Its Application for the Apple iPad

Phoenix, AZ, February 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- PEPID, the leading developer of clinical decision-support information and technology for doctors and nurses, announced today the release of its Apple iPad® application, making it the first point-of-care application designed to take full advantage of the device.

“I truly believe the iPad and other tablet PCs will play a significant role in the future of healthcare, and I’m pleased to add iPad to our list of supported platforms,” says John Wagner, president. “We’re proud to be a first mover on the device, providing healthcare professionals with critical information at the bedside from their iPad.”

PEPID recently conducted a beta program for the application, and had an overwhelming response as the application was widely praised and accepted by testers.

PEPID is recognized as having the most extensive drug database on the market today, along with thousands of disease profiles and medical conditions, medical and dosing calculators, a drug interaction checker, illustrations, laboratory values and a symptom checker — all of which are now available for the Apple iPad.

“The new PEPID iPad application takes advantage of the device’s large screen and intuitive user interface,” says Edward Reynolds, chief technology officer. “Our tab navigation interface easily allows healthcare professionals to check for interactions, diagnose a patient, look up diseases and clinical conditions or find proper dosing quickly and easily.”

PEPID’s specialty-focused suites are available for purchase from pepid.com/ipad, and the application can be downloaded through iTunes.

PEPID’s reputable clinical and pharmacological content is designed to support clinicians through every stage of the decision support process, increasing safety and accuracy through better-informed patient care. PEPID content is already delivered to iPhone, iPod Touch, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Palm devices.

PEPID has provided clinical specialty-focused products since 1994, focusing on the way healthcare professionals practice medicine. PEPID offers one of the most robust medical information resources on the market as well as some of the best customer service in the industry.
