Just an FYI.  Version 1.0.4 is now on the app store! Make sure to keep checking the app store for updates to ensure you have the latest release of Mediquations.

• NEW: New setting allows you to start up with Favorites displayed.
• NEW: 6 new equations!
  • Alvarado Score
  • Body Surface Area: Dubois Formula
  • Change in Serum Sodium
  • Kt/V and Urea Reduction Rate
  • Pediatric Dosing Calculator
  • PERC Rule (Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria)
• CHANGED: Added face dermatomes to dermatome equation.
• CHANGED: Weeks pregnant in pregnancy calculator now uses LMP rather than conception date.
• CHANGED: Added methadone warning in Opioid conversion.
• CHANGED: Other minor bug fixes.

Mediquations version 1.0.3 is now available on the App Store! Now you can set US or SI units for specific variables on the fly, making it much easier for international users to enjoy Mediquations.

See this post for all the changes in version 1.0.3.

Yup, yet another update has been submitted to the app store.  Here are the changes:

- NEW: More robust units support allows you to change the units for specific variables.  Great for international users.
- NEW: 16 new equations!

• Aortic Valve Area (Continuity)
• Aortic Valve Area (Gordon)
• Arterial Oxygen Content
• Arterial Oxygen Delivery
• Body Surface Area (Unknown Height; Current Formula)
• CURB-65 Score for Community Acquired Pneumonia
• Heart Rate from EKG
• IV Drip Rate
• Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE)
• Number Needed to Treat (NNT)
• Oxygen Index
• P/F Ratio
• Pregnancy Calculator (enter LMP or Due Date)
• TIMI NSTEMI
• TIMI STEMI
• Urinary Calcium Excretion (Ca / Cr)

- CHANGED:  Fixed a bug in the corrected calcium formula, which only appeared when using SI units.
- CHANGED:  Fixed a minor bug in the corrected LDL formula, which only appeared when using SI units.
- CHANGED:  Added SI units for Corrected Phenytoin formula.
- CHANGED:  Ideal Body Weight will now show pounds when Units are set to US units.

As you can see, the biggest change is the ability to change the units for variables on the fly.  For example, if you want to use kg and cm for weight and height when calculating GFR, but you also want to use mmol/L for creatinine and sodium, you can now adjust the units accordingly.  This is a much requested feature from international users, so I’m proud to put it into this version.

Enjoy!

Mediquations 1.0.2 is now on the app store, complete with 29 new formulas and favorites support!  See our previous post for more info.

So every evening, I like to take a look at how Mediquations is doing on the App Store.  Man, was I surprised to see this… Mediquations is now in the Top 100 Paid apps.  Granted, it’s number 99 out of 100, but I never had any idea it would become so well received.  Thanks to everyone for your continued support!
