Best New Medical Apps Released in 2015 for iPhone & Android [658]

By

There are thousands of new medical apps released each year. And every year, the physician editors at iMedicalApps sort through the year's new crop of apps and pick the best new medical apps. This year, we picked a group of medical apps that were innovative, filled important needs, and offered really valuable resources. And somewhat surprisingly, the majority of them were free. 

Here are the Best Medical Apps of 2015 for iPhone & Android.

ACEP Toxicology Section Antidote App 

We've all been called about a patient with a drug overdose of some kind - too much dilaudid, atenolol in a hospitalized patient with renal dysfunction, or a patient showing up to the ED after ingesting something -- let's say pesticides. You may remember that Narcan is the antidote of narcotic overdose, glucagon for beta blockers, and atropine for organophosphate poisoning. But what about the initial dose, frequency, and follow up? That's where the ACEP Toxicology Section Antidote app can help. This fantastic free app from the American College of Emergency Physicians packs a ton of critical information into a really easy-to-use, well-designed app. Oh -- and did we mention it's free? 

Price of the ACEP Toxicology Section Antidote app: Free

Complete List of Studies Using ResearchKit Apps

By




Since Apple launched ResearchKit earlier this year, we've seen a number of medical research studies from nonprofits and academic medical centers across the country. And there's clearly a lot more interest out there among clinicians and healthcare professionals. One way clinical researchers can help understand how ResearchKit may improve their own work is to quickly survey how others are using this platform. 

To that end, we've put together a guide to all of the ResearchKit studies of which we're aware. We'll keep this list updated with new studies as they launch, as well as any findings that are published from these studies. 

Studies currently underway are looking at:

• New ways to track symptoms of Parkinson's disease
• Use of wearables to detect seizures
• Ways to identify children who may have autism
• Ways to improve quality of life in patients with breast cancer
• Ways to help patients reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. 

Check out the full list of clinical studies using ResearchKit apps at iMedicalApps.

Ever wonder how well Google Translate would work for medical translation?  At iMedicalApps, we tried it out 5 years ago and found there were a lot of issues with the overall user interface. We tried it out again last week and found it had undergone significant improvements.
