IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE<br />
HEALTH AND MEDICINE!<br />
TRACK YOUR HEALTH. CREATE OR ACCESS MEDICAL RECORDS. DIAGNOSE. PRESCRIBE.<br />
MacPractice, Nimble EMR + Human Atlas<br />
If you’re a doctor or medical professional, iPad apps can<br />
help you - and your patients. MacPractice provides an<br />
iPad interface for its end-to-end Mac-based calendaring,<br />
patient management, prescription, diagnosis and referral<br />
system, collectively offered for $800. ClearPractice’s Nimble EMR is a free option with<br />
scheduling, charting, prescribing, and claim management features, promising to let doctors<br />
handle most of their needs without using a computer. By contrast, Blausen’s Human Atlas HD<br />
($30) uses images, descriptions, and even videos to help patients visualize their diagnoses<br />
while in the office, including 3-D rendered, rotating body models covering nine different body<br />
systems. And dozens of other apps are geared towards medical students, including iPad<br />
Gray’s Anatomy and Oxford American medical handbooks, flash cards, and test prep tools.<br />
QxMD Calculate Medical Calculator + More<br />
Massive and entirely free, this specialty-sorted tool<br />
provides over 150 medical decision support tools and<br />
calculators, including everything from estimating<br />
burn areas to calculations of a baby’s due date and<br />
CHADS2 risk scoring for patients with atrial fibrillation.<br />
Numerous<br />
other quick<br />
reference<br />
tools are<br />
found in the<br />
App Store<br />
for every<br />
medical<br />
topic using<br />
the Search<br />
