Pillbox added to the Toolbar
October,06 2009 17:47
"How can I identify a pill" is one of the FAQs at the NLM site. They already offer a nice list of resources, but they launched a new beta service called Pillbox. To visually identify tablets and capsules by imprint, shape, color, size and scoring. http://pillbox.nlm.nih.gov/index.html Currently they offer two versions: * a html-based screenreader compatible version and the * visual identification/exploration Adobe Flex powered version. It is this visual version that I added to the NLM Toolbar. It opens in a floating box that can be placed anywhere on your screen. Users that already use the Toolbar will spot the Pillbox between the Movies and Messages buttons. Read the post on: http://nlmtoolbars.blogspot.com/2009/10/pillbox-added-to-nlm-toolbar-to.html
