Harvard Medical School standardizes on AvantGo mobile solution - Applications - Brief Article

Wireless Internet, Jan, 2002

AvantGo announced that Harvard Medical School (HMS) recently launched the innovative MyCources mobile solution, a new information resource that provides students and faculty members with timely access to critical medical and course information on their mobile devices. Based on the award-winning AvantGo M-Business Server, the solution gives HMS students and faculty continuous access to existing HMS systems.

Working with ArcStream Solutions, a wireless consulting and systems integration firm, HMS uses the AvantGo solution to leverage its existing technology, wirelessly providing students and faculty with the latest course calendars, announcements, class notes and syllabi on their Pocket PC and Palm OS devices. By sing this information from mobile devices in the classroom, at the hospital, at the library; or from home, students can communicate better with each other and the HMS faculty. In addition to coursework and calendar information, students have the ability to log important casebook procedures and patient observations into their devices. Athough students do not have access to patient records, the ability to input and upload patient notes into their devices gives JAMS faculty an easy method for monitoring and evaluating a student's progress.
