Wolters Kluwer Health
has announced that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) is piloting the use of UpToDate® on board the International Space
Station (ISS).
UpToDate is an evidence-based clinical decision support resource that
equips clinicians with the most current medical information, including
expert-authored recommendations that can be used at the point of care.
Since internet connectivity is limited aboard the ISS, NASA is using
UpToDate MobileComplete™ to enable access to UpToDate content without
continuous internet access. With all UpToDate content downloaded locally
to an iPad, astronauts have seamless offline access to the latest
comprehensive clinical content that spans more than 11,000 clinical
topics.
On earth, the offline accessibility of UpToDate MobileComplete is an
important clinical asset in rural regions with limited internet
connectivity as well as in disaster zones. With hurricane season in full
swing, UpToDate MobileComplete can be an invaluable resource when
regions temporarily lose power and internet.
Approximately 90 percent of academic medical centers in the US and more
than 36,500 hospitals and institutions worldwide trust UpToDate to
improve patient care. It continues to be the only clinical decision
support resource associated with shortened patient stays and saving
lives.
