While many specialties have always been heavily dependent on technology, such as radiology and cardiology, the ubiquity of these small, interconnected computers means that every physician will soon have access to a broad array of software and hardware to help them perform their daily work. At iMedicalApps.com, we have been reviewing the most interesting medical apps on the market today as well as watching for trends in mobile medical technology. The most popular categories thus far have been clinical reference and utility apps.  Some of the largest download numbers have been for apps that provid...

For example, deciding whether a patient is in a shockable rhythm, realizing what medications should or should not be given in a particular situation, or assessing the degree of atrioventricular block, can all be important considerations in patient care. The Arrhythmias app, designed by Abe Balsamo, recently cracked the Top 10 list of most-downloaded medical apps in the app store.  This app represents Mr. Balsamo’s first foray into the app world, though he has several other apps in development, according to his website AppsByAbe.com.  The app’s growing popularity has been driven by its point-of-care abilities that...

Plus, I think I reach, influence and interact with as many or more people than the traditional healthcare journalist. However, there’s something liberating about being called a blogger instead of a journalist because the standard and approach is different. At least I thought that was the case until I read this article on Forbes.com which declares Allscripts new API as “Open Source’s Debut in Healthcare.” Ok, to be fair, it was written written on a Forbes healthcare blog and not their magazine, but as a blogger I’m embarrassed that a Forbes blogger would write such a terrible article. Let me set the record straight. Allscripts launched a...

On the first day Apple introduced the new iPhone 3G S. They also continued their tradition of presenting some interesting upcoming applications. AirStrip Technologies has presented its new medical app called Critical Care. I really don’t have any comments at this moment other than WATCH THE VIDEO IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND! AirStrip CRITICAL CARE features include: Virtual Views – Remote, virtual real-time monitoring of live cardiac rhythm strips and other waveform data such as pulse oximetry, end tidal CO2 and peak ventilator pressures. Strip Zooming – The zoom feature maintains relative size of waveforms and the background grid allows for easy assessment and measurements. Automated Calipe...

Apple has allocated a special Medical category; The medical apps were previously listed in the Health and Fitness category But now they are listed in their own category. As it is the case with other categories, we now have lists of the most popular free and paid apps. As well as as list of the most recently released. Making the task of finding the right medical app much easier. The category icon is always the icon of the most popular Free App, which is currently Epocrates Rx. This is different from our poll that indicates Skyscape Medical Resources in the first position, probably because our poll is strictly pediatric! The categorization do...

Most of them are for sale, but there are some which you can download for free. Here is my current top three of free health apps. 1. Epocrates Rx Includes the drug guide, formulary information and drug interaction checker. Also offers continual free updates and medical news. 2. Eponyms (for students) Offers a list of 1,600 common and obscure medical eponyms (e.g., Rovsing’s sign, Virchow’s node) with descriptions. 3. OBWheel A simple pregnancy calculator to determine the estimated delivery date and gestational age.
