The app is designed to gives doctors instant access to information for more than 950 diseases and disorders. It is an alternative to other more bulky reference materials. The layout provides the information in short bursts, similar to a wiki, but more reliable.
Designed to be easy to navigate and read, the downloadable app, is a pocket-sized reference that is perfect for use on-call or during office visits. The content is derived from the Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment and updated by Professors of Medicine from the University of California.
The disease entries include key features, clinical findings, diagnosis, treatment, outcomes, and evidence. The entries are alphabetically arranged and searchable. There is a variety of ways to search the information from the simple keyword search to the wildcard search. The quick search will begin to search as you are typing.
If you think you know the condition but are unsure of the spelling, you can use the “fuzzy” filter to return results with similar word pattern. A wildcard search will replace a letter or group of letters
You can create a quick answer word list. The app also includes a history that lists all of your recently visited words. You have the option to create favorites, use it to create your own categories or lists of words that you typically use.
The app even helps you expand your knowledge and vocabulary with the dictionary function. With the dictionary, you can receive a daily word of the day. The word of the day presents the words in context with example sentences.
If running the app on iPhone and iPad, it requires iOS 4.3 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Downloadable from the iTunes App store for $9.99.
