Free Medical Iphone Apps Review: uHear (r)


uHear for the Iphone:

People kept telling me that they needed to speak a bit louder to me to have a smooth conversation because otherwise I kept asking about things I did not catch. It was then when I decided that I needed to test my hearing.
I knew the Iphone had a very high quality sound engine so I searched for audiometry and hearing tests and foud a Free Hearing Test app for the Iphone called uHear.
The application has 3 different tests:
  • Hearing Sensitivity: It tests how well you can hear sounds on different parts of the spectrum and it tests both your ears.
  • Speech in Noise: It tests your capacity to understand spoken language in a noisy environment.
  • Questionnaire: It measures your symptoms and gives you a score of how well you are doing.
I tried it and it gave me a surprise result... My hearing was not very good. So I went to the ORL doctor and decided to have a professional audiometry and the results were comparable. I know this tool does not replace the professional diagnostic tools, but it is a very good start... It helped me know that I had a problem and encouraged me to go to the doctor (I am a medical doctor too, but some of us are afraid to seek help for our own health problems)
You can see my results in the pictures.

Free Iphone Medical Apps Review: MedCalc (r)


MedCalc (r) for Iphone:

For those of us who had a Palm (r) PDA before having a smart phone like the Iphone 3G, this would be one of those free applications that we probably had. This free Medical Iphone app is a MUST for clinicians... Just think, there are hundreds of Calculators for Endocrinology, Cardiology, ICO, emergency, Lites, Pediatrics, Lung, Renal, Etc... How could one possibly remember all the formulas and also have the advantage of just having to input data and have the result calculated for you? It's like having that ugly notebook taken out of your Doctors Coat and replaced by a cool looking Iphone 3g
I love to calculate GFR with this tool, or fluids for burns, etc...
I even have my version in Spanish
