Micropedia vs Hematology app

Micropedia is a user-friendly, practical guide of clinical microbiology. Broken down into 150+ entries each focused on a specific pathogen or group of pathogens, Micropedia provides a concise review of over 16 different aspects of each pathogen's clinical presentation including modes of transmission, symptomatology, lab and imaging findings, relevant diagnostic testing, treatment, and additional pearls. To provide a comprehensive perspective each entry is sourced from a respected infectious disease textbook, a popularly-used electronic clinical resource, and recently published journal review articles. Additionally contains a search function which allows for search based on common names, eponyms, geography, acuity, vaccinations, and the entire content of each entry. Although it already contains >100 of the most commonly seen pathogens in infectious disease, future updates will continue to add hundreds more.

The HematologyApp is intended for use by medical professionals only. It offers a vast amount of hematology related content with risk calculators, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnostic lists, official guidelines, an extensive bone marrow and peripheral blood morphology atlas and a clinical study finder. Dr. JJWM Janssen, MD PhD and the Apps for Care and Science Foundation have used the highest standards to select and program the HematologyApp content in a way that will help hematologists to perform their everyday work in a more efficient way and to improve quality of patient care. As medicine is an ever-evolving science and standards and practices in medicine may rapidly change as new data become available, the individual medical professional should therefore consult a variety of sources. For this reason, please make sure to have the automatic app update option installed on your smartphone. Only the most current release of the HematologyApp should be consulted when information is sought; do not rely on older versions. Although we are doing our utmost best to keep the information in this App up-to-date, when prescribing medications according to the Hematology App, the user is advised to check the product information sheet accompanying each drug to verify conditions of use and identify any changes in dosage schedule or contraindications, particularly if the agent to be administered is new, infrequently used or has a narrow therapeutic range. The information provided in the HematologyApp may be changed without notice and is not guaranteed to be complete, error-free, correct or up-to date and is no substitute for individual patient assessment based upon the healthcare provider's examination of each patient and consideration of laboratory data and other factors unique to the patient. The HematologyApp should be used as a tool to help the user reach diagnostic and treatment decisions, bearing in mind that individual and unique circumstances may lead the user to reach decisions not presented in this App. Disclaimer for non-medical professional users: Please be sure to seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.
