iPad customized medical apps already in the Apple App Store
Developers for some of our favorite medical apps have been working at a fever pitch to have their apps utilize the extra functionality and screen space offered by the iPad. Just to be clear, all your iPhone medical apps will run on your iPad. But, some developers have made “iPad versions” of their medical apps. The following are some of our favorite medical apps that have done this conversion, and screenshots of how they have utilized the extra space and features afforded by the iPad.
App Giveaway and Interview With Creator of MD on Call app
MD on Call is a medical app aimed at interns, residents, and 3rd/4th year medical students. It’s a great app geared to help you with those 4am calls you get from nurses and is also a great reference for patient care in general. We did a full review of this app a few days back and were definitely impressed. MD on Call is available for $5.99 in the App Store.
The app’s creator, Marc-Emile Plourde was gracious enough to give our readers ten promo codes along with an exclusive interview. This is the first interview we’ve done and we hope to make it a more constant thing. It’s always interesting to see the creative minds behind some of these great medical apps. A note to our readers, due to the popularity of the site, we’ll be re-launching with a new layout and a new name, iMedicalapps.com. This transition will most likely occur at the start of next week. We’ll give you more details later this week.
The promo codes will be given out on a first come basis. Continue on for the interview and the 10 promo codes.
MD on Call App Hopes to Make Your Call Nights Less Painful [App Review]
Its 3 AM and you are the new intern on call covering far more than your share of patients for multiple services. Your pager goes off. Mrs. Smith is seizing and Mr. Jones is vomiting large amounts of blood and is hypokalemic. What do you do?
MD on Call ($5.99) hopes to provide these answers. The app is developed by MDMarkee Publishing and is a new addition to the App Store. It is a simple application with sometimes basic but vital information, especially useful at those early morning call hours. This review will focus on the information provided and my experience using this application while being on call.
