HealthMash Health Search iPhone and Android Update


Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) August 08, 2011

The upgrades are available in the App Store and the Android Market. All upgrades were created based on customers’ feedbacks.

The iPhone updates include minor performance enhancements, better visual appearance on non retina displays and a loading indicator while loading web pages. The Android version updates include the “Did you mean…?” spelling suggestion bug fix.

Dr. Tamas Doszkocs, CEO of WebLib LLC noted, “We want to assure the continued success of WebLib?s HealthMash semantic search technology by constantly working on making health information findability more efficient. This includes deploying the technology on multiple platforms. For example, HealthMash is also a featured application of Elsevier’s highly acclaimed Sciverse Hub and HealthMash is also an entrant in Elsevier?s ‘Apps for Science’ competition.”

The iPhone application of HealthMash has been downloaded over 1,000 times since its start in April, while the Android version – released a bit later – has had over 500 downloads.
