MICROMEDEX, a part of The Thomson Corporation , announced that its mobileMICROMEDEX product, which puts drug, toxicology, alternative medicine, and acute care information in the palm of your hand, now supports memory expansion cards for Palm OS 4.0 and higher.

The company said the new feature allows mobileMICROMEDEX users to benefit from the product's broad range of clinical content without consuming a large portion of their Palm's main memory. John Halamka, M.D., associate dean for educational technology at Harvard Medical School, has recently tested this new mobileMICROMEDEX feature.

"mobileMICROMEDEX offers a great deal of critical information and its mobile format allows the program to fit well into the workflow of today's busy clinician," said Halamka. "Now that mobileMICROMEDEX can be stored and run from memory expansion cards, the storage issues previously associated with this product have been virtually eliminated."
