What can you do while you’re sitting in the doctor’s office waiting room?Comments on: -- http://e-patients.net/archives/2008/05/what-can-you-do-while-youre-sitting-in-the-doctors-office-waiting-room.html because health professionals can't do it alone Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:53:56 +0000 hourly 1 By: Cheryl Greene http://e-patients.net/archives/2008/05/what-can-you-do-while-youre-sitting-in-the-doctors-office-waiting-room.html/comment-page-1#comment-301 Cheryl Greene Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:15:14 +0000 http://72.9.147.40/archives/2008/05/what-can-you-do-while-youre-sitting-in-the-doctors-office-waiting-room.html#comment-301 Jack -- I contacted ADAM about the issue you described above. As it turns out, I was mistaken. The URL I posted originally was used during development and is no longer accessible to the public. So if you don't have an iPhone or iTouch you're out of luck. On the other hand, the majority of mobile apps are being developed for the iPhone / iTouch and with the release of 3G (and the lower price of the iPhone) more people are getting them.

I have tried to access iphone.adam.com both from my desktop in Firefox 3, and from my Treo 750 using IE for Windows Mobile. In both cases, I get a page that says "This page is designed to be viewed on the Apple iPhone. With an iPhone, you can get access to one of the coolest healthcare apps around – the A.D.A.M. Symptom Navigator... So what are you waiting for? Go get an iPhone!" -- followed by a link to www.apple.com/iphone The only way I was able to get it to work was to use the "User Agent Switcher" extension for Firefox to trick ADAM into thinking I was connecting from an iPhone.
