PubMed for Handhelds is a mobile app version of the PubMed
database. More than simply a smaller-screened version of the regular PubMed
website (like the PubMed Mobile app), PubMed for Handhelds gives options for
quick searches on the go or in the clinic.
Enter your terms based on the clinical scenario and search
PubMed’s index of articles instantly.
You can also opt to do a clinical query search:
The records for specific articles include a TBL (the bottom line) section that summarizes the main findings of the study. You can also click from there to read the entire abstract, connect to full text, or see a list of related articles.
A major weakness of PubMed for Handhelds is that it does not
allow linking with libraries for full text access. Even if you have a MyNCBI
account that is linked to the USA library, by default the “Full Text” link in
PubMed for Handhelds will take you directly to the publisher’s website. So
accessing the full text free through the USA library requires extra steps
outside of this app.
PubMed for Handhelds is available as a free Android or iOS
app. To download the app, either search your device’s app store, or go to the
PubMed for Handhelds website: http://pubmedhh.nlm.nih.gov/
