The iPhone isn’t just a place to hold fun applications, it’s also an important tool for serious use too. One industry that the iPhone has really revolutionised is the medical profession, and it’s apps like RespCalc Medical Calculator that are helping hospital staff every day.
RespCalc Medical Calculator is a medical calculator that can calculate everything from an individual’s Body Mass Index to a dosage of medication. The app works very smoothly, after choosing an equation, you’re brought to a new screen that starts with various input fields and radio buttons for the equation’s variables. These are all very clearly delineated and easy to use, and the equation auto-completes once they’re all placed.
Although the app can’t be relied on completely, it’s an app that can really help medical professionals quickly calculate anything, including the severity of a stroke, the blood pressure in an individual, even down to the conversion of gas units. You have the choice of finding the calculation you need to work out from the extensive alphabetical list by scrolling, or using the search box at the top of the homescreen.
The interface is simple, making it ultra quick to use in urgent situations. Simply enter the answers to each of the questions asked and the result will appear at the bottom of the screen.
