TPN and Tube Feeding User Reviews

Please add to formulary

I love this app, it’s very useful. Requesting for update the formulary to include impact peptide 1.5 and Kate farm standard 1.0, 1.5 and Kate farm peptide 1.0, 2.5.

Also please consider making a pedi version, that would be amazing!

Thanks!

Best phone app for a RD

There is no other app like this, at least for mobile. This is also well-made and easy to use. It saved me countless hours of time throughout my career and continues to do so. The main benefit is you can use this on the go or during rounds etc. without the need to go to a computer or website to use a similar app that isn't as well made or easy to use. The only downside is it doesn't provide every aspect of a tube feeding like vitamin or mineral content. It also is only on iOS so any interns with android won't be able to get it. Regardless, this app is worth it and you should get it especially if you're a clinical dietitian.

Excellent app

This is a fantastic app. I use it daily and it saves me so much time !

Use daily

I use this app almost everyday. Super helpful, especially for making recs on the fly. Would love to see an update to this app though!

Needs Katefarms

Super helpful when you’re seeing a ton of patients and need some quick math. Needs katefarms added!!!

Incorrect

Jevity 1.5 and Glucerna 1.5 not accurate with protein, free fluid. Also TPN calculator not correct.

Formula nutrient provision needs updating.

Good app, but many Nestle formulas have changed slightly and the app has not been updated accordingly.

Also, only way to contact developer is on Facebook, for which I do not have an account.

Great app for clinical RDs

Love this app! So easy to use and helpful for fast calculations of est energy/PRO needs and TFs. Highly recommend

Please update

Absolutely love this app. Please update the tube feeding choices to be more inclusive of the newer options.

Miscalculates tube feeding nutrition

Be wary of the data you are getting from this app! I have been using this app for sometime and just recently discovered it has the incorrect data for the formula Nutren 1.5 when compared directly with the Nestle nutrition panel information.

Needs a few tweaks

Great, user-friendly format. Usually fairly accurate, but can be off on protein and fluid for TF calculations (such as Nutren 1.5). With just a few changes in formula accuracy, I could use it with more confidence for my TF calculations. Thanks for developing this!

So impressed!

I have used this app for about a month and I am so pleased with the ease and accuracy of the calculators, the built-in formulary and the time it has saved me because it is right at my fingertips. In fact, I am in the process of reviewing this app in for a newsletter article.

In an absolute perfect world, the only additional calculators I would add, it would be to include a IV dextrose and Propofol calculator. No complaints here! Fantastic job!

This app is a keeper

Just downloaded and played around with this, but I can already tell I'll be using this app every day for all my patients. I'll be telling everyone in my RD group about this!

Amazing!

This app is the most user-friendly for clinical dietitians that I've used. I wish I had found it sooner! It calculates MSJ (or Penn State) and kcal/kg simultaneously, which is helpful when I calculate nutrition requirements in multiple ways to compare the numbers. The EN and TPN calculations also save significant time while charting.

Best nutrition/MNT app out there!

This app is seriously a clinical dietitians best friend! Features include MSJ/Penn State calculations, TF, and TPN calculator. I've tried several other apps that claim similar functions, but I love that this app has all 3 in one. Also, I LOVE that you can adjust the TF duration and hourly rate and calculate macronutrients this way. I transition a lot of pts from continuous to cyclic and this saves me SO much time! The TPN function is fantastic too! Honestly, this saves me prob 5-7 mins/pt. I can't say enough good things!

Amazing tool for nutrition support

Really straightforward and useful for tube feeds and tpn.

Time saver!

This app makes calculating energy needs, tube feeds, and TPNs a breeze! I love being able to quickly compare TF formulas. The time I save with this app allows me to spend more face-to-face time with my patients.

Parenterally Advised

User interface seems small and cramped on iPhone 6. When I’ve double checked the Penn State equation, I can’t ever get close to the same value the app does. I presume it’s using the Mifflin equation but the numbers never match up for me.

RD

So convenient and helpful! It has been great being able to calculate needs, tube feeds, and TPN quickly and wherever I want. This has cut my charting time down significantly. It used to take me 5 minutes to calculate TPN and now it takes me 30 seconds! Would definitely recommend this app.

Saves so much time

I wish I had this years ago.
