NEWS - 2009 September 09/21/09 KYW1060 story:
More than 300 students in Drexel’s College of Nursing and Health Professions will receive iPod touch devices on their first day of classes as part of a new initiative to make critical medical information available at the touch of a finger, Gloria Donnelly, dean of CoNHP announced today. The students will join University officials September 21 to learn about the devices and celebrate the technological upgrade. The iPods will be populated with valuable medical information that includes drug data, nursing procedure guides, drug side effects and software to enable digital note-taking. The four-ounce iPods will replace many of the existing thick nursing textbooks and, with the devices configured for wireless Internet, automatically update medical information. iPod touch is a pocket computer that enables access to Apple’s App Store, the web, e-mail and more on a 3.5-inch “Multi-Touch” display perfect for mobile learning.
