Palm OS Resources (Plus)

There are several Palm OS resources related to Public Health, that I have found to be quite useful.  Cost is always a factor for me, so I located several free or very low cost applications to make your Palm OS use easier.

iSiloX ™ 4.01 currently costs $19.99, but it is money well spent.  This is a very cool program.  iSiloX™ installs on your PC (or Mac) and allows you to drop and drag files (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) into a window then converts them into Palm OS readable documents - maintaining any hyperlinks originally in the document.  Or you can create your own document, inserting your own hyperlinks and convert them.  There is also iSilo™ (no X) which installs on your Palm - to allow viewing.  Go to their website (http://www.isilo.com/support/index.htm) for manuals and other downloads.

Downloads for iSilo™:

West Nile Virus 2003 Information
USAMRIID's Medical Management of Biological Casualties Handbook v4.02

RediReader 3.0 (free)
CDC STI Guidelines 2002 for PALM OS (RediReader03 and Guidelines included in .zip file)

Adobe Reader for Palm OS v3.05 is a must.  You can download any document created in .pdf format right into your palm.  If you have Adobe Acrobat^® Professional 6.0^® or Adobe Reader 6.0^®, all of your hyperlinks will be maintained. (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readerforpalm.html)

Some freeware or shareware I have also found useful:

Journal Club - calculates 2x2 tables, providing; PPV, NPV, OR, number to treat, prevalence calculations, RR, sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio (-), and likelihood ratio (+).   Once you install the program, you have to enter a registration code (3free3).  It's the same for everyone, it just activates the program.

Mobipocket Reader Pro for Palm OS and Mobipocket Reader PC are two great programs that allow you to view documents on your Palm OS or PC.
