IPAD LIFESTYLE GUIDE<br />

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 />

feature.<br />

Consumer-grade iOS-ready<br />
