Free Iphone Medical Apps Review: Eponyms (r)


Eponyms for Iphone:

If you are like Tom Cruise's Character brother in the film Rain Man and you can remember all the names of Diseases and Syndromes then you don't need this app. But then, how many savances are there in the world? And none of them are Medical Doctors. So no doctor should have an Iphone without Eponyms for Iphone.
Need to know what is Alport's Syndrome? or maybe what is the Blumberg's sign? Need to impress your cute colleague with all your medical knowledge? it helps in that field too ;-)
There are more than 1600 Eponyms classified by specialty and you can even select your favorites to be displayed apart.
It is one of the best tools I have used, second to Epocrates only in importance for the clinician.
The best of all, It's FREE for students!!! (I must say I got it while I was still studying!)

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

Free Iphone Medical Apps Review: Epocrates (r)

If you are a technophile like I am, you have an Iphone 3g, and you happen to be a doctor as well, the you will be interested in this review of Free Medical Iphone Apps.
Let's start with the one I consider the most important free medical Iphone application:

Epocrates Rx (r) for Iphone:


This Iphone application was developed and is constantly updated by Epocrates Inc. to be one of the best Drug References for the iphone.
It has a comprehensive list of Drugs by Generic name, commercial brands, etc.
Every drug has its Adult Dosing, Peds Dosing (if available), Black Box Warnings, Contraindications/Cautions, Adverse Reactions, Safety Monitoring, Pharmacology, Manufacturer/Pricing, Pill Pictures and Interactions.
The best of all features is the Multicheck tool which checks for interactions between multiple drugs.
The free Epocrates Rx (r) even comes with MedMath which has a series of useful medical calculators that include Body Mass Index, Winters' Formula, Pregnancy Wheel, Corrected Qt and many more...
I could not possibly live without this free medical app for the Iphone.
