MedlinePlus Goes Mobile

Earlier this year, the National Library of Medicine launched the long-awaited mobile version of MedlinePlus.  It includes many of your favorite MedlinePlus and MedlinePlus en español pages in a display that is optimized for mobile devices.

Mobile MedlinePlus includes:
  • Topic summaries – “snackable” pieces of information, you can access and digest quickly
  •  News – the latest in treatment, medical research and healthy living tips
  •  Images – visual appeal is important
  •  Encyclopedia articles & drug information – heavily-used content
     
Mobile MedlinePlus does NOT include:
  • External links – these pages are not optimized for mobile; they are “regular” Web pages
  • Interactive tutorials – Flash doesn’t work on many mobile devices
  • Some licensed content – we’ll work on adding in the future
