iPhone app: Webicina


What is Webicina
It is an incredible one-stop shopping site for medical professionals and patients to join the Web 2.0 world. The site has and is constantly aggregating the most recent journal articles, blog posts, podcasts, and many more sources of media in 25 different specialties and in 17 languages.

They recently built an iPhone mobile app version which is pretty cool. It's so cool that it won the 2011 Medical Apps Award for Most Innovative App. Go to iTunes link to download this FREE iPhone app. Oh and I just read that the Android app will be available in June.


It's got a whole section on Emergency Medicine. In the app, you see that the EM section is broken down into:

  • News and Information
  • EM in the Blogosphere
  • EM Podcasts and Interviews
  • EM Community Sites, Facebook Groups
  • Microblogging: Twitter and Friendfeed
  • EM Wikis
  • EM Videos, Animations, and Videocasts
  • Mobile Applications
  • Medical Search Engines
  • Clinical Cases and Images in EM
  • Slideshows about EM
If you look in "EM in the Blogosphere", you can actually see my blog listed! I'm honored. Because my blog starts with the letter "A", the alphabetical ordering is the only time I'll EVER see myself listed ahead of EMCrit or LifeInTheFastLane.
