Mediquations Blog

New versions of Mediquations for iOS and Android are now available.  These updates include support for iOS 5 and Android Gingerbread 2.3.

Full release notes are available here:

Several updates have happened since I last updated this blog.  We are currently at version 30, which includes a number of new features:

• Added support for AirPrint to print equation results (requires iOS 4.2 or later).
• Added “Notes” feature.  Jot down notes in each equation.
• Icon redesign per request from Red Cross.
• User interface bug fixes and tweaks for iPad.

In addition, an update is under approval at the App Store which addresses a bug causing crashes for users running iOS 4.1 or earlier.

Mediquations for the iPhone OS and for Android have been updated with new equations and bug fixes.

iPhone OS Changelog

Updates to Mediquations for the iPhone and Android OS have been posted. Here’s what’s new:

Good news! I have been hard at work on developing Mediquations for the iPad ever since receiving my iPad on Saturday.

I have submitted Version 23 to the app store for approval.  This version is a “universal” application, meaning it’s an iPhone/iPod Touch app and an iPad app in one package.

In other words, if you’ve ever purchased Mediquations before, the iPad version of Mediquations is a free download away.

I would really like to know how you plan on using the iPad in the healthcare setting.  Leave a comment.

I have fixed the units issue with Version 21, and have submitted the updated version to the app store:

The following changes are in Version 22:

Thanks to everyone who reported this error to me.

There is a problem with units in the new version of Mediquations, Version 21. I have uploaded a new version that corrects this issue.

This bug only appears if you have any “override global units” set in the Mediquations Settings app. If you do not have any “override global units”, this bug does not affect you.

Here’s a fix in the meantime. For variables with units that you set to “override”, toggle the units buttons, and the correct values will be displayed.

For example, if you have your global units set to US, but you override the weight units to “kg (SI)”, when you select a weight variable, tap “lbs” in the keyboard, then tap “kg” in the keyboard.

Hope this helps. Sorry for the trouble. A new version will hopefully be out on the iPhone app store by the end of the week.

This version addresses bugs with the following scores:

• Well’s Criteria for Pulmonary Embolus
• Adjusted Body Weight Units in BMI Calculator
