The Merck Manual
Merck Manual Home Edition Aims to Help Patients Communicate More Efficiently With Physicians [App Review]
Unlike many applications in the medical section of the App Store, Merck Manual is not made for medical professionals. Instead, the app is aimed at lay people with no healthcare experience. The app hopes to help these people understand medical knowledge easier. We were definitely fans of the Professional Edition, which we recently reviewed. The Professional Edition does a great job with synthesizing the information medical professionals need the most, and basically putting a medical encyclopedia in your hand. I liken the Professional Edition to a Medical Wikipedia, at least in terms of the pertinent content it contains and the feel. The user interface, navigation, and content are beautifully laid out in the Professional Edition, I was hoping to find the same features in the Home Edition as I was preparing for this review.
