Unbound Medicine has introduced six new PDA references on its mobile knowledge management platform, CogniQ. The CogniQ Pediatrics Series includes pediatrics publications from PocketMedicine combined with Unbound Medicine’s literature management service.

Available for both Palm OS and Pocket PC handheld devices, the company said these products provide information for clinicians caring for pediatric patients, including physicians, nurses, residents and students. The Unbound MEDLINE service allows users to track medical journals in their field and also to capture questions on the handheld that are answered with searches on the Web.

Derived from data in the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed database, Unbound MEDLINE said the references deliver table of contents and abstracts from the latest journal issues directly to a handheld on synchronization. The CogniQ Pediatrics Series are:
