Netter is more the flash cards transposed to an iPhone app whereas the Skeletal System app seems to have been designed with the iPhone in mind. It is more narrow content wise, covering only the skeletal system and ligaments, but it covers them in much greater depth. Also the skeletal system app feels like you are examining an actual skeleton rather than flipping through flash cards, zooming down to a bone, turning it around in any direction and then labeling it, fun stuff. Hope this helps.

Talking Spanish medical app. Its very good, has the pertinent questions for history and physicals all phrased for a yes/no answer. The voice is loud and clear (make sure volume is up!). However, according to my coworker the grammar is rather old fashioned and very proper.

For those with medical texts in .chm format iCHM is a must, the version for OS X is great too

Forgive the question in this thread, but for those of us starting school in a month, where's the best place to encounter medical ebooks online?
Thanks

If you just google "medical ebooks" or google "medical ebooks .pdb .chm" you'll find lots of links in every medical subspeciality.
Most books are either in .chm format (read by iCHM from the iTunes store), .pdb format (read by iSilo also in iTunes) or .pdf format (iPhone can read it natively, but you'll need Airshare, Files or some other program to store it locally).

iMurmur is an exciting, practical application that teaches you how to recognize and diagnose heart murmurs. Without a doubt, the sounds contained in iMurmur's library will be heard in clinic. The heart sounds are presented in a rapid quiz format and are organized by clinical relevance emphasizing sounds you will encounter most frequently. In addition to a visual diagram of each murmur, you have the option to learn more; you can read about key clinical characteristics, what generates the murmur's unique sound, its pathology, and basic concepts on how to proceed with therapy. iMurmur also includes options to create custom quizzes or to listen to specific murmurs from the collection.
Repetition is the branding iron of knowledge and this application may help make healthcare providers better at recognizing various heart sounds. Students of all backgrounds, including medical, nursing, paramedic, emergency medical technician, pharmacy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy, will discover that iMurmur is an enjoyable and efficient way to learn. Professionals, including MDs, DOs, PAs, NPs, RNs, NDs, paramedics, EMT-Bs, DPTs, OTDs, MPTs, MOTs, residents, and interns, will find that iMurmur is a fun, interactive way to brush up on auscultation skills. Medical students studying for Step 1 and Step 2 of the USMLE (United States Medical Liscencing Exam) will find iMurmur extremely high yield in preparing for the cardiac multimedia questions. In addition, iMurmur is straightforward and can be used by anyone interested in learning about heart sounds and conditions.
"Reasoning is over-rated. In time, you will know a heart murmur not because you reasoned your way to the answer, but because you have heard it before. When confronted by Grandma you don't stop and think, "Hmm, elderly woman, short, white hair, smells funny... AH! By this train of thought, this is Grandma!" No. You know Grandma because you've seen her before."
-Dr. Larry Hansen, Professor of Pathology,
U.C. San Diego
REQUIREMENTS:
The heart sounds have a very deep pitch that the built-in speakers cannot reproduce; HEADPHONES MUST BE USED FOR OPTIMUM QUALITY. Compatible with iPhone and iPod touch.
Requires iPhone 2.2.1 or 3.0 Software Update.

Here are some screenshots! It's ranked number 2 in the iPhone's Medical Category. Hopefully it'll beat out that Police Scanner App so a REAL medical app will be at the top of the MEDICAL category.

So I have been on the wards for a small amount of time but so far there are a couple of iPhone apps that have been very useful to me and that have made me loook like a rockstar on the wards:
1. Lexi-Comp: their drug section is what the pharmDs use so the descriptions are truly amazing. There was a drug that the attending couldn't find in the PDR that I found for him in LexiComp. Also their natural products section came in handy when we had a patient who was taking an herb that niether I nor my resident had heard of. It turned out that it was a trade name for milk thistle which helped us to rule that out ad a cause for her current complaint. I also used the Harrisons Practice section to look up diagnostic tests for hemachromatosis which helped me to answer a pretty hard pimp question. So overall I love this program. Having a jailbroken phone helps ease the weight of the immense $300 cost but it is definitely worth it.
2. Skyscape apps: Pocket Medicine, Hopkins ABX Guide, 5mcc
3. Diagnosorus- helpful when I get patients who come in with annoyingly vauge symtoms like abdominal pain or a headache.
4. Epocrates- it is helpful but ever since I got lexicomp I barely use this now. However I still use it because of the great medical calculators that come built into the program
5. Aji PDF Annotator- allows me to read books that I have in PDF format and annotate lines that I find important.
6. ICHM reader for all those books like hoppenfields and ACS surgery that are in the .chm format

Hey everyone,
Here's an app for staying up to date with the latest articles from NEJM, JAMA, and Lanet. It doesn't have access to the full articles but it at least lets you read the abstracts and browse them when you don't have an internet connection on the go.
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=321802067&mt=8
or you can always set up an rss feed to your favorite journals and have them all in one place (not limited to jama, lancet, nejm). I use googlereader for this purpose, very good way of staying up to date.
This application includes: (3D teeth)
1. General information about teeth and mouth.
2. Show in 3D each tooth, one by one, function and how works each tooth.
3. Dental caries, dental disease, causes etc.
4. Dental implants, kinds, benefits of dental implants.
5. Important Dental care, adults and kids.
All the information on this basic Dental encyclopedia is being shown with support graphics in 3D for a better understanding, many graphics, teeth, etc, are in real 3D to fully appreciate its shape.
Remember:
Each dentists says that the most important part of tooth care and mouth happens at home, now you can get this accomplished with this beautiful dental 3D information on your device.
This application was made for doctors, students and family.
Remember if you are not a doctor or studen of dental, you can get this application to learn how works each tooth, kinds of dental disease...
and best of all: how to take care of your teeth and mouth
Learning with 3D support.

From a nurses perspective:
I also utilise Epocrates and have no problems with load times and use via 3GS
Check out RSI by DoctorCalc for a quick and easy RSI reference:http://doctorcalc.com/rsi
I also use the Informed Emergency & Critical Care Pocket Guide ACLS Version: http://www.informedguides.com/index...gency & Critical Care Pocket Guide™
Edit: I have a friend in anaesthesia who developed a great reference for CCT complete with sepsis guidelines & ventilator management calculators among many other concepts for the Palm and Windows Mobile platform. He is working on the SDK process for Ipod/Phone. This should hit the market soon, hopefully.

Mediquations I bought it when it was the only "calculator" app on the store. Never regretted it. I don't know how the others compare though. I really enjoy the "favourite" function
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=287958963&mt=8
Narc Convert I never really understood how to use it, so I don't
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=294741463&mt=8
Blausen Human Atlas Bought it, never really used it. Try the "lite" version before buying...
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=328339533&mt=8
ePocrates it's way better on my 3GS than it was on my original iphone (faster).
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=281935788&mt=8
MD on Call I bought that one a couple days ago... wow! Really an amazing source of point-of-care info. It saved my life twice already (and maybe even my patient's...) Better than my call book. It's efficient and straight-to-the-point; a good thing at 2AM. a great buy👍

Shameless plug, but I have an iPhone app on the app store. Pocket Lab Values is a bit like epocrates (though epocrates has 1000x more info), however, I think apps with a single purpose are quicker to use than a Swiss Army Knife.
Pocket Lab Values is the perfect companion for medical students, residents, nurses, and other medical staff while working in a hospital. It provides quick access to common lab values, quick info about a particular lab value, as well has links to sites such as Wikipedia, Google, and MedlinePlus.
More than 200+ common values are included in an ever expanding list:
+ Arterial Blood Gases - 8 Labs
+ Cerebrospinal Fluid - 8 Labs
+ Drug Monitoring - 26 Labs
+ Electrolytes/Metabolites - 34 Labs
+ Endocrinology - 35 Labs
+ Hematology - 41 Labs
+ Immunology - 19 Labs
+ Lipids - 9 Labs
+ Liver Enzymes - 10 Labs
+ Toxicology - 6 Labs
+ Tumor Marker Proteins - 8 Labs
+ Urinalysis - 14 Labs
Anyway, check it out and PM me about what I can do to make it better. Thanks!

Got an e-mail asking if I was going to develop a version of Shots for the iPhone.
Well, no...I don't have an iPhone yet (I live in an AT&T dead zone), and I don't do any programming anymore. However, there's a similar program already out there called "Vaccines."
If you liked Shots on the Palm OS or WinMob, check it out: http://doctorcalc.com/vaccines

"Somebody" should make an app for all the injectables we do in outpt oncology: neulasta, neupogen, aranesp, procrit, faslodex, sandostatin, etc.
That would be great to have that; could even use it as a teaching tool.
"Somebody" should think of that. 😉
Fan, I am not aware of any cancer specific apps. I know epocrates is a free reference for medications, and I really like this app. There is also an app called "Cancer Drug Dictionary." I am not sure if it is good or otherwise.

Eh.. making an app is a bit harder than you think. My Pocket Lab Values app took the better part of this year to make because I didn't want to fail med school.
Granted, the first app is always the hardest, but sadly, I don't think my next app is gonna come out for a while. It's still in the planning phases. Good apps that sell well are 3/4th info and 1/4th presentation. Getting down to the nitty gritty of "what should my app look like?" is time consuming!
Ok, I need to get back to studying. =/

Which is why I suggested somebody else do it. It's way beyond my abilities. I was thrilled to do my first screenshot!
It is a lot work to develop and maintain an app, especially a drug reference which really should be constantly updated. Even if you use a published guideline it will be out of date almost as soon as it is released. If you started using a drug reference on a regular basis wouldn't you expect it to be updated at least every few months?
Not really a medical app but "Dragon Dictation" is available now for free and is extremely accurate and very fast. Great user interface to dictate and get text output to send via email, text message, or paste into your other apps (facebook, google search, etc.). Might not be free for long so check it out now.
Yeah I downloaded it. It works reasonably well.

Talking Spanish medical app. Its very good, has the pertinent questions for history and physicals all phrased for a yes/no answer. The voice is loud and clear (make sure volume is up!). However, according to my coworker the grammar is rather old fashioned and very proper.

The ResQshop platform finally made the transition to iResQ. Great program if you do any critical care transport. The quick guides make setting up pain in the ass transport ventilators such as the Univent quite easy as well.

I am currently doing some software building as part of my job (no coding) and I am curious where someone would start if they wanted to learn to build an app?
There are a few ideas that I have in mind. Any suggested readings? websites? Anything at all?
Thanks for any and all help

Just posted a new App for iPhone and iPod touch hat I think will come in handy for med students and residents:

.Procedures: Hospital Collection - 15 inpatient procedures, 80+ minutes high res video, 150+ photos. X-rays. Step-by-step instructions. Everything you need to know about thoracentesis, paracentesis, central lines of every flavor, lumbar puncture, intubation, and more. Created with Dr. Joe Esherick, expert proceduralist, director of Ventura's medical ICU and teacher of hospitalist procedures with the National Procedures Institute. Lots more details and screenshots available here:.
.www.meistermed.com/procedures/.
..
I've already used it to help one of my residents review before her first lumbar puncture. She reviewed the step-by-step technique, watched the video, and got the tap with the first stick. Perfect for refreshing your memory if it's been a while since the last time you did a procedure.
I'm going to put it for sale at 50% off sometime in the next week. If you're interested and want to get an announcement about the sale, you can sign up for my MeisterMed's Medical iPhone Users mailing list here:

Available on the iTunes App Store - Pedi Safe
Here are a few of the screenshots
An advanced airway management and cardiac resuscitation app. In an emergency, healthcare providers can quickly identify a patient's weight or Broselow color, and then Pedi Safe displays all appropriate weight based dosing, equipment sizes, and normal vital signs. An excellent reference during a code for doctors, nurses and paramedics!
The app was produced by iAnesthesia LLC - http://www.iAnesthesia.org

If you're in the UK Formulary is a great app to have around. It gives you all the contents of the BNF and great search without having to lay your hands on a paper copy or navigate the website. Developer seems very responsive as well and added bookmark searching as a free update just a few weeks after I asked for it.
Itunes link (another hint - replace formulary with another app name to go straight to the app in the store):

eBenzo is a great benzodiazepine dose converter app for the iPhone.

If you need an opioid (narcotic) converter, a similar iPhone app, eOpioid is also very good.

Just saw a youtube video on a dermatology app called VisualDx Mobile. I downloaded the trial and it looks good for self education as well as diagnosis.
It only works on the iPhone as far as I can tell. There is a free trial and it looks like they're running a promo right now too.
There are a ton of images and short helpful text.

Hey guys, I just wanted to invite you to check out our Dissection Atlas App for the iPhone. It's got great high resolution images of the head and neck, which are annotated with in-depth information and audio pronunciation guide. Check it out and tell us what you think, we'd love to hear your feedback.
There seems to be a number of wonderful applications coming out for not only the iPhone but many other Smartphones as well. We just released a browser based app that interfaces to the clinical system in the hospital to allow residents and physicians to sign orders and transcribed notes. They can also acknowledge critical lab values.
As long Apple and Google continue to improve the devices, there will be new applications for those phones to improve patient care.
