“We are excited to use our platform to implement this
fully integrated digital information source for students
and clinicians,” said Bill Detmer, MD, president and
CEO of Unbound Medicine. “Davis's Drug Guide is an example of essential, reliable, well-organized, and
constantly changing content that is ideally suited for multi-channel
digital delivery.”
In addition to consulting the Website, purchasers of the
Mobile and Web version can download Davis's Drug
Guide to a personal digital assistant (PDA) or smartphone. Users
can also consult the complete drug database using a wireless

powerful mobile interface is customized for each device and
optimized for display on small screens. All of Unbound's
interfaces guarantee users immediate access to regularly
updated drug information from any location—hospital,
office, community, or home.
“Nurses increasingly rely on digital references when
they have patient care questions, whether they are in training
or in practice,” said
Robert H. Craven Jr., president of F.A. Davis. “Unbound
is uniquely suited to help us meet this critical need by
delivering up-to-date drug information on the Web or to PDAs,
