MedlinePlus Mobile has a new, sleek look! Like the original version, the redesigned site of trustworthy health information for consumers is optimized for all mobile devices. Where the original mobile site only contained a subset of the information available on the main MedlinePlus.gov, the new site has all of the content found on MedlinePlus and MedlinePlus en español. Both the Spanish and English MedlinePlus sites have been developed to be responsive on smaller screens like smartphones and tablets.

Some key features of the new mobile site are:

• Access to all of the content available on MedlinePlus and MedlinePlus en español
• Improved navigation using “Menu” and “Search” options to access search and other major areas of the site
• Enhanced page navigation with the ability to open and close sections within pages
• Updated look and feel with a refreshed design
