U.S. to Test Bioterror Alerts on Doctors' PDAs

This article in the Washington Post discusses a U.S. government trial of DocAlerts, a technology pioneered by ePocrates, to deliver urgent messages to doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers in the event of a biological attack. A message will contain a memo about particular biological agents and Web links to information about diagnosing and treating related conditions. Healthcare workers will be able to save the information for future reference.
