Top Ten iPhone Medical Applications
There’s no shortage of “Top Ten iPhone Medical Applications” rankings mentioned across a number of newspapers, health blogs and publications in 2009. With the iTunes’ AppStore’s enormous and ever growing popularity, trying to determine a valid Top Ten list is almost impossible. iAppHealth has conducted its own review of the Top Free Medical Applications and here are the results of our findings.
Here is our own top ten iPhone medical apps:
1. Epocrates - This application lets users view continually updated clinical data, check for drug-drug interactions, identify prescriptions by physical characteristics and perform medical calculations such as BMI.
2. Medscape - this application is a continually-updated drug reference tool. It includes over 6,000 generics and brand name drugs with a built-in Interaction Checker.
3. Diagnose the Disease Game - this application is really a medical game application given away to promote the Epocrates product. Healthcare professionals can have some with this application.
4. Color Blind Test - this is an interesting new application that allows a user to determine if they are color blind or not.
5. Medical Encyclopedia - this ia a handy application providing medically reviewed information for nine different medical categories including: Symptoms, Injury, Disease, Surgery, Nutrition, Special Topics, Poison, Tests and various YouTube videos. It contains more than 50,000 pages of in-depth medical information from the University of Maryland and is avilable in English and Spanish.
6. Muscle Head and Neck System - is a high-end learning and reference application covering the muscles of the neck and head.
7. Swine Flu Tracker Map - with the national news focused on the Swine Flu, this application provides some useful features about Threat Levels as reported by the WHO, a Swine Flu Map showing concentrations of swine flu, swine flu symptoms and other information for consumers, and alerts for breaking news fromd the CDC and WHO.
8. Psych Drugs - this application is ideal for mental health professionals and students who want to familiarize themselves about phsycotropic medications.
9. MedCalc (medical calculator) - is a free medical calculator that provides easy access to a wide variety of medical formulas, scores and classifications. It comes available in four languages including English, Spanish, French and German.
10. Speed Bones Lite - is an excellent application for students learning about anatomy and all of the bones in the body. Put away your flash cards - this is good learning tool.
At the time, these free medical applications seem the most popular. In December of this year, we will come back and review the list and see if the rankings have changed or new applications have replaced any of the leaders.
How soon will you update your blog? I’m interested in reading some more information on this issue.
Working on updates as we speak. They should be published over the weekend. Anything specific you are looking for?
What student discounts are available? Which ones are Microsoft Office compatible?
Hey Carson, this top ten list is fantastic. It’s amazing the type of tools are available for health care professionals in the form of these iPhone applications. I think there is a lot of potential as the technology improves and as more people start using them. You could have capabilities that allow a range of things like constant tracking of your vitals. You can post this to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and link back to your site. We are trying to create a directory for top ten lists where people can find your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
Laura,
I am not sure about any student discounts. The iPhone Apps are available on the iTunes website. Pricing ranges from Free to whatever the developer want to charge. Most apps fall in the $.99 to $2.99 category so they are very inexpensive.

PetSmart was founded in 1986 and opened its first dog bed Warehouse stores in the Phoenix area. Through several mergers and acquisitions, PetSmart expanded in the early- and late-1990s across the U.S. and into Canada, and entered dog bed online retailing through a partnership with Idealab in 1999.
In early 2000, PetSmart remodeled most of its store in a plan they called “Eagle” which changed scads of its stores from a front-half dog bed storefront, back-half warehouse feel to an all-over standard retail market, in hopes of not intimidating customers.
In August 2005, the company announced that it was rebranding its name from PETsMART to PetSmart. This move is designed to emphasize its evolution from a pet supply store to a solutions-oriented company.
As of November 2007, PetSmart operated take 1,000 stores and about 150 locations with PetsHotels and Doggie Day Camps. Some PetSmarts are dog bed co-located with Banfield Pet Hospital veterinary offices.
PetSmart Charities, a pet supply nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, also raises money for local adoption groups, including groups that it does not offer in-store space. In many stores, donations are pet supply collected at the register via traditional relinquish boxes. Some stores also ask customers if they wish to donate a dollar at the register when they use a credit or debit card. PetSmart pet supply charities also has an annual donation drive. Proceeds from Petsmart Charities events are given to over 3,400 adoption partners. PetSmart Charities claims that of the six to eight million pets collected by rescue agencies, three to four million are euthanized simply because they do not have a loving home.
PetSmart Charities Inc. is set to award the Austin Humane Society the first of three grant installments totaling $227,000 to assist in funding pet supply AHS’s new Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Program.
