Procedures – Hospital Collection App: 15 Procedures Taught With Extensive Multimedia [App Review and Comparison]
Learning a new skill can be an intimidating task for budding health care professionals – especially when it comes to learning medical procedures. There is a difference, any doctor will tell you, between reading about a procedure and actually doing it. Educators are beginning to take full advantage of new technology – like the iPhone/iPod – to help bridge the gap between comprehending and performing medical procedures.
Procedures – Hospital Collection is a new app that uses bulleted text, clinical images, and audio/video instruction to familiarize the learner with the preparation, relevant anatomy, and individual steps of common procedures in the hospital setting.
This app is not the first we have reviewed that offers instruction on performing routine hospital-based procedures. In many ways, Procedures – Hospital Collection is like the more expensive Procedures Consult – Internal Medicine App in its content.
So… how does it stack up to Procedures consult? In this post we’ll do a full review of Procedures – Hospital collection, and use the Procedure Consult series as comparison
STDMeister Medical App – STD Diagnosis and Treatment Information in Mobile Form [App Review]
STDMeister is the first legitimate STD app made for health care professionals in the App Store. It was only a matter of time right? Although the proper phrase is STI, sexually transmitted infection, it’s safe to say the phrase sexually transmitted disease (STD) isn’t going away anytime soon – especially for those of us in the medical field. This STD app aims at helping medical personnel diagnose, manage, and treat STDs. The developer of this application is MeisterMed, and we’ve reviewed some of their prior medical apps before, with mixed results. This might be a unique application at a low price point, $3.99, but how useful is it for health care professionals? Hopefully at the end of this review you’ll be able to tell.
Procedures – Subclavian Line App Helps Teach You Key Procedure [App Review]
Procedure apps appear to be all the rage lately in the mobile medical world, and rightfully so. These instructional apps are a valuable resource to those learning how to do procedures in the health care world. We reviewed another Procedures app recently, Procedures Consult-Internal Medicine, that covers a wide variety of procedures. However, this app focuses on one specific procedure, and is a fraction of the cost.
Procedures – Subclavian Line, is a $2.99 app produced by MeisterMed. You might remember one of our previous reviews on a MeisterMed app, PediDoser. We weren’t huge fans of that app (although to their credit, PediDoser has a 3.5 star rating in the App Store). Nonetheless, once I tried out this current app for this review I was definitely impressed.
PediDoser App Helps You Prescribe Pediatric Drugs [App Review]
PediDoser, developed by MeisterMed and priced at $2.99 (“limited time only”), claims to be a fast and easy-to-use pediatric medication dosing tool. Since I was about to begin my outpatient peds rotation, I was really excited the new version (1.2) became available and figured I’d give the app a good run for its money. Currently, it’s ranked 17th in the top paid Medical apps category. I’m a bit surprised by this ranking, as you’ll see in the following review.
