A testbed system for mobile point-of-care information delivery

PubMed on Tap is a testbed system that supports search of and retrieval from the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE/spl reg/ database from a PDA. The goal of the PubMed on Tap project is to discover and implement design principles for point-of-care delivery of clinical support information. The project explores user interface issues, information content and organization, and system performance. Here we present our progress in these areas.
