This past week, PEPID launched its latest application for the Google Android. With this new release, the Android has joined our existing supported devices, making PEPID available for every smartphone device, operating system and HIT system worldwide.
PEPID recently conducted a beta program for the application, and had an overwhelming response as the application was widely praised and accepted by testers.
“I have not been as comfortable with my Droid without PEPID. I really love the user interface and specifically how the information on drug-drug interactions is presented,” says Marcia E. Ring, PhD, APRN, University of Vermont College of Nursing and Health Sciences Department of Nursing and PEPID beta tester.
As always, we would love to hear your feedback. Click here to let us know what you think about the Android version of PEPID.
PEPID CEO Attends the United Nations’ World Autism Awareness Day
Dr. Mark Rosenbloom, emergency physician and PEPID founder and CEO, participated in the prestigious opening event for the second-annual World Autism Awareness Day at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City on April 1st.
Rosenbloom’s own Unicorn Children’s Foundation was honored as an international organization dedicated to autism research and education. Rosenbloom founded the organization in 1995 in part because he has a son with autism. The event was attended by an estimated 100 U.N. ambassadors, their representatives and autism experts. It was hosted by the Israel mission and the Israeli Society for Autistic Children (ALUT).
The awareness day emphasized the urgent need for international efforts to identify and combat autism disorders, as well as organizations such as ALUT and the Unicorn Children's Foundation to disseminate information and "best practices" in autism research and treatment worldwide. Learn more.
