MedReader, www.medreader.com, is a free RSS Reader and RSS Publishing Solution specifically for the Medical & Healthcare Industry. (What is RSS?) It is a free service that sits on your desktop and searching for the information in your specialty.

MedReader is four sections (Physicians, Business, Nursing, and Allied Health professionals) and each section of MedReader is then subcategorized to provide specialty specific information.
With MedReader 4.0 users are able to manage multiple folders, scrolling updates, and persistent searching.

MedReader also has a Podcast client allowing users to listen to music or other media through a single interface. Allowing users to manage both online written medical news as well as online medical audiocasts.

Librarians who are interested in keeping updated medical news on their library web pages this RSS feed manager might be quite helpful. One caveat is that MedReader must be installed on your computer so it is limited to those who primarily use one computer and have permissions to download on to their computer. For the privacy conscious people out there it is important to know, MedReader is "in the process" of developing physical, electronic, and management procedures to safeguard the information which they collect about you, with the aim of insuring appropriate use, preventing unauthorized access, and maintaining data accuracy. "These systems are not yet complete and any information you provide you do so at your own risk." So your guess is as good as mine as to what information the little software is collecting about you.
