The MD Keyboard extension for iOS is specially engineered with doctors and clinicians in mind. Add this keyboard from your Settings and it will become available as a normal keyboard for use in most apps such as Email, Notes and Messaging. The MD Keyboard allows you to search our vast medical database with cognitive AI and returned results can be entered into the text you are typing so it's like having an expert at your fingertips at any time from any app! With a free @Point of Care account, you can even earn CME credits right from the keyboard or type links to such materials into your text stream. On top of that, MD Keyboard provides a dynamic medical dictionary for word prediction and completion, including thousands of drug names. Also, we added more than the usual key alternates (long hold a key), giving you shortcuts to common medical abbreviations and scientific symbols. There is also Utility Mode where we will offer various specialized tools, starting with a simple calculator that will type numerical results into your field so you don't have to switch to a calculator app to do basic calculations. Also included currently is a BMI calculator and an Ideal Body Weight calculator. We want this to become the go-to tool for any doctor, from any app.
