The NSW Trauma App will ensure clinicians are supported in the care of the trauma patient and are able to manage to meet the needs of the specific traumatically injured patient. Clinicians in metropolitan, rural and remote areas require standardised, easy access to clinical support tools and up-to-date, evidence-based information to deliver optimal care. This includes the provision of trauma resources for pre-hospital and intra-hospital clinicians. All clinicians require portable and versatile amenities in trauma care that can be utilised on a smartphone or tablet operable in environments such as poor cellular or WiFi access locations. This app is developed for all medical, nursing and allied health clinicians of NSW Health and NSW Ambulance working across the trauma continuum within the state. The NSW Trauma App provides: • Localised guideline repository: The Guideline repository has been provided from bodies within NSW Health including Ambulance Service of NSW (ASNSW), Local Health Districts and trauma services. The guidelines and information, sourced from public domains, are referenced and acknowledged within the app. • Specific burn injury resources: The Institute of Trauma and Injury Management has worked with the NSW Burn Injury Network to provide Trauma resources specific to burns injuries including guidelines, checklists and additional resources. • Interactive Burns Calculator: The calculator enables automatic determination of the total body surface area (TBSA) of burn injury by allowing the user to mark the area of burn injury on a body chart. Additionally entering a weight, time since burn and fluid already administered allows automatic calculation of the fluid requirement for the first eight hours since the time of injury and the following 16 hours, expected urine output and maintenance fluids required. • Detailed NSW health facility information: Provides information such as site specific details, resource availability and contact information of more than 200 facilities. This enables onsite and remote clinicians to provide location specific advice, enabling the patient to receive timely treatment and progress through the trauma system, reducing unwarranted clinical variation. • Trauma related medical calculators, Interactive checklists and Clinical timestamps User evaluations show that the NSW Trauma App has resulted in improving access to user friendly trauma resources informing adult and paediatric care givers; including guidelines and facility information, educational material and updated evidence-based practice. Benefits of the app relate to patients, clinicians and the trauma system through access to appropriate and timely evidence-cased trauma care, improved patient experience, easy access to clinical support tools and improved standardisation of care.
OSLA
Read full descriptionHide full description
OSLA measures the surface area of ocular surface lesions from a photo. Capture a close-up of the eye, mark the iris as an 11.5 mm reference, trace the lesion, and OSLA reports the area in square millimetres. Built for eye care clinicians and researchers who need a consistent, repeatable way to document lesion size in clinic or in the field. How it works: - Capture with the guided camera (near focus lock, flash at capture) or pick an existing photo - Draw around the iris. Its 11.5 mm average diameter sets the real-world scale - Trace the lesion freehand, or tap point by point - Read the area in square millimetres, with maximum and minimum dimensions The saved photo includes the annotations and a small measurement card, so the result can go straight into your records. Everything runs on the device. No account, no upload, no tracking. Photos stay on your phone unless you choose to share them. OSLA is useful for documenting and monitoring conditions such as ocular surface squamous neoplasia, pterygium and conjunctival naevi. It is a documentation aid for clinicians, not a diagnostic device, and it does not replace clinical judgement.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: OSLA at daily against NSW Trauma's every 7 months. OSLA also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
