A brief history
Like a lot of cutting-edge tech, our story involves Steve Jobs. When the iPhone was just 8 months old, a California neurologist started a petition to get epocrates onto the iPhone. Almost 500 doctors signed, and that’s when Steve Jobs invited epocrates developers to develop one of the first Software Development Kits for the iPhone.
