    • Handy Medical Apps For iPad

    by Susan January 25, 2011 at 5:02 pm

    Technology is fantastic. We all know that and, being in the medical field, you’ll appreciate that more than most. Of course, it’s not just medical technology that can make your job easier, there are a number of mobile applications that can make a big difference. We’ve previously told you about some of the great offerings available for smartphone, here’s how you can use your iPad to improve your working life.

    • Med Mnemonics – A mnemonic is a short rhyme, phrase or technique used to make remembering information easier. When you’re studying complex medical terms (or afterwards when you need to remember them), this technique can be excellent. Memory aids will benefit you both short and long term, no matter what field you’re working in. This handy app contains over 1600 mnemonics covering a range of specializations. Save favorites for easy future reference or search and filter as required. You can also add your own mnemonics to the database.

    • iPubMed+ – A great app for those who use PubMed regularly, this will allow you to retrieve all your search results, conduct new searches, manage searches and email the results with just one tap. You can also access the PubMed webpages in the app without having to leave your search results. If using your organisational network, you can even view PubMed with full text access. Searches can be filtered in a number of ways, including recently added, author, journal and title.

    • ICD9 Consult 2011 – Access the full ICD9-CM from your iPad for about a third of the cost of a bulky, inconvenient paper manual. With diagnosis codes both searchable and browsable, you’ll have no need to trawl through a huge reference book again. Featuring full 2011 diagnosis codes and 2008 procedure codes, including all subcodes and descriptions for over 21,000 codes, easy distinguishing between specific and non-specific codes and the ability to keep a favorites list, this app may well prove invaluable in your daily working life.

    iTriage

    by Susan January 7, 2011 at 4:31 am

    The iTriage health website contains a mine of information for checking those worrying symptoms you’ve been having. Access a database of all US hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and emergency care facilities as well as information on over 750,000 physicians. This makes it an indispensable tool when you’re not sure if you or your child require medical attention but what about things that crop up when you can’t get to a computer?

    Luckily, iTriage is now available on iPhone and Android and will soon be released for Blackberry.  Search the symptoms against the possible causes to ascertain what kind of medical facility you should attend. Do you need the Emergency Room or just a physician? Are your symptoms minor and possibly treatable by a pharmacist? Even if you’re away from home, iTriage can pinpoint your location and provide full directions to the nearest hospital, urgent care, pharmacist or physician using your phone’s GPS technology. It can even tell you what the waiting times are for a number of large hospitals.

    iTriage is free to download and use and is certainly a useful application to keep close to hand. However, we would stress that if you think the situation is an emergency, it should be dealt with accordingly as quickly as possible.
