You can access DynaMed's valuable, evidence-based content anywhere with the DynaMed mobile app. The app makes it easy and fast for you to find answers to your clinical questions. 

Download Instructions:

If you have any older DynaMed app on your device, you will need to uninstall before proceeding:

  1. Go to the Google Play store  or Apple’s App store  on your device.
     
  2. Search for DynaMed.
     
  3. Choose “Get" or “Install" to download the app. You may be asked to confirm storage permissions (Android), Select "OK" and "Allow".
     
  4. Open the app and select your login method:
    • If you have access to AHS Staff WiFi (e.g. AHSRestrict, not Healthspot), select the Institutional Network tab (left) within the app and click on Authenticate.
       
    • If you do not have access to AHS Staff WiFi, register for a personal account:
      • On the main page of DynaMed, click on the person icon in the top right.
      • Select "Create Account" link to create a new personal account. Once you receive confirmation on-screen that your account has been successfully created, you'll be able to use this same username and login for the mobile app using the Sign In tab.
         
  5. Before you begin using your app, you will be asked to download the latest content updates and select the amount of local DynaMed storage that you want the app to use. This process can take from 5 to 30 minutes, and depending upon your data connection and/or data plan you may wish to delay content download until you are on a wifi network.
     
  6. After installing the app and downloading the full DynaMed content, the app can be used offline without a wireless signal.
