Mediquations Offers Common Medical Equations for Docs

Hmmmmmm.....wonder why you chose those examples, Arn?

(I'm a Med-Peds physician)

i know several doctors who are just loving the new medical apps for the iphone and can finally ditch their palms. opening this us to the market for apps was genious and is helping the iphone break into areas traditionally dominated by other handhelds for too long.

I wonder if a mnemonics app will spring up - with so much to learn it seems a very useful app to have.

Don't forget MIM, a DICOM viewer.

I am waiting for Epocrates Essentials and/or 5 Minute Clinical Consult. Anybody have news as to when these apps will show up?

I picked them just by looking through the app store. No particular preferences. If you have any recs, post em.

edit: You were probably talking about the equation examples... in which case, of course! :) What else are you going to use it for...

Glasgow Coma Scale is good for students or other healthcare professionals who would like a quick way to assess patients with head injury.

Nice roundup. I submitted version 1.1 of Medical Calculator (one of the apps mentioned) to Apple a few days ago, so it should appear in the App Store soon. Version 1.1 has the following improvements:

[LIST]
[*] Added Ranson's Criteria for pancreatitis mortality.
[*] Added Cockcroft-Gault GFR.
[*] Added Alcoholic Hepatitis Discriminant Function.
[*] Added Free Water Deficit.
[*] Added Well's Criteria for Pulmonary Embolism (PE).
[*] Pregnancy Wheel lets you enter EDC (due date) or LMP.
[*] Shows equation for each formula on info screen.
[/LIST]

If there's a particular equation anybody wants to see, let me know. I'm keeping a list and will work on adding the most popular requests first. Also, Medical Calculator is only free for a limited time while I finish adding more of the equations and features on my to-do list, so grab it now if you're interested.

Thanks Arn for posting about my app, Mediquations! I didn't even realize you mentioned it until I checked my web logs. :)

I am a medical student and former Apple software engineer, so if anyone has any questions regarding Mediquations, feel free to PM me or post to this thread.

Thanks!

I have yet to pay for an app on my iPhone - but the starving medical student cum software engineer (or as the post above states, vice versa) may just push me over the edge.

Between the Palm standbys of MedCalc, MedMath, ICUMath, MedRules and ABG Pro, you should have no shortage of new calculations to add in. That said - a big list of calculations gets unwieldy quick (maybe sort by specialty?).

As soon as ePocrates rolls out the Dx/Sx/ID tabs and iSilo finally gets approved by Apple - well, this and Eponyms may be enough for me to toss my Treo...

...against a wall. Into a lake. Maybe off a bridge.
