Features:
- BabelMeSH: select one of 13 languages available; enter a MeSH term of phrase. A non-English term is translated to its English equivalent then searched in MEDLINE PubMed. The number of English to non-English translations (varies among the languages) in the database limits the quality of translations.
- PICO Linguist: search using the PICO (Patient or Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) format.
- MeSH Term Lookup: Lookup a term from one language to another. Terms translated to English can be searched immediately. Non-English terms need to be copied then searched in the other tools available in this app.
- Citations, abstracts and TBLs can be saved in Archive or sent by e-mail.
- Archive: saved search results for reading later
- Compatible with iOS 6.0 and 7.0
