DripRate - A simple and easy-to-use IV Drip Rate calculation App "DripRate" is a reference tool designed to assist in the calculation of drip rates and volumes. This app was developed to complement the judgment of healthcare professionals and is not intended as a direct medical tool. It can be used as a reference tool for nursing in hospitals and at home. The differences from the paid version are as follows: ・Contains ads ・Up to 5 calculation records 【Main Features】 ●IV Drip Rate Calculation Simply input the volume of fluid, administration time, and IV set to automatically calculate the drip rate and volume as a reference. It is also possible to calculate from the volume of fluid and administration speed. ●Various Display Times You can choose and set the optimal unit time for the drip rate and volume from multiple options. ●Numeric Settings You can choose from picker (drum roll) or numeric keys (numpad) input. When you tap a number, a control for setting it appears underneath. ●Save Function You can switch and save up to 5 calculation records with tabs. The title of the tab can be edited by long-pressing it. ●Confirmation Sound and Vibration You can confirm the drip speed by sound and vibration. There are 10 types of confirmation sounds and 3 levels of vibration to choose from. ●Customize You can change the color of the text to suit your preference. ●Timer Function You can run multiple timers at the same time. Each timer can have a title. Even if the app is closed or the device is locked, you will receive notifications at the set time. ●Dark Mode Support This app fully supports dark mode. ●Apple Watch Support There is also an app for Apple Watch. The settings of the iPhone app can be automatically reflected in the Apple Watch app. The Apple Watch app has the same basic functions as the iPhone app and supports complications (allows the app icon to be placed on the watch face). This app was developed based on the opinions of active nurses and is designed to meet the needs of the field. However, the results of this app are part of a reference, and medical decisions should always be left to the discretion of medical professionals. 【Disclaimer】 This drip rate calculation app is a reference tool for calculating the drip rate and the volume of IV fluid.
