American Cancer Society writing free PDA referenceBy Larry Garfield, Wednesday 18 August 2004
The American Cancer Society is developing a free cancer-related reference application for Palms and Pocket PCs, and wants beta testers to help out.

The American Cancer Society is working to make diagnosing, tracking, and preventing cancer easier for doctors, with a free handheld program called C-Tools 2.0.

C-Tools aims to be a complete reference of cancer-related information, intended to give physicians and other medical professionals access to the widest possible array of information relating to cancer possible. In turn, that will help doctors diagnose and treat cancer patients faster and with greater accuracy, which in turn should help save lives.

The medical industry was one of the first to adopt handhelds for reference software, and Palm OS handhelds in particular. Many physicians now consider a handheld reference an essential part of their business, as searching a handheld reference can be substantially faster than locating and paging through a large paper reference. A number of commercial medical reference programs are available, although often they require a continuous subscription to keep the program from locking out the user. C-Tools is the first such program from a major medical non-profit agency.

Clinical content in C-Tools has been developed and reviewed by a variety of physicians working for the American Cancer Society National Health Promotions Review Board, as well as other cancer experts. The ACS intends it to be a complete A-Z of cancer facts, findings, and information.

C-Tools 2.0 is slated to be available in January of 2005, and will be available at no charge. Versions of the program will be available for both Palm OS and Windows Mobile handhelds. Until then, the ACS is asking for physicians interested in being beta testers to contact them via the mailing list on their web site.
