OpData-Drive is a personal procedure logbook for doctors, residents and specialists. Log every operation and procedure you take part in, and see your training and career numbers at a glance. SPECIALTY-SPECIFIC FORMS Dedicated logbook forms for 19 specialties: Neurosurgery, General Surgery, Orthopedics and Traumatology, Cardiovascular Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Urology, Ophthalmology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Otorhinolaryngology, Emergency Medicine, Interventional Radiology, Anesthesiology, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Dentistry and Pediatrics. Each specialty uses its own terminology: target structure, classification, procedure type, implant and graft options change with your specialty. Customize the form to show the fields you use. WORKS OFFLINE Add entries without an internet connection. Your logbook syncs in the background when connectivity returns. No hunting for signal in the operating room. STATISTICS See how many procedures you logged today, this week, this month and this year, with a calendar of every entry. Procedure breakdowns show what you do most often by year, month and week. Ask the ODD Statistics Assistant questions about your own numbers. GOOGLE SHEETS SYNC When you link your Google account, your logbook is written to a spreadsheet created in your own Google Drive. The sheet is yours: download, share, or analyze it any time. TEAM Add the OpData users you worked with as team members, and the entry also appears in your colleague's logbook. PRIVACY AND SECURITY No names are collected: only initials can be entered, and the input field technically enforces this. The on-device database is encrypted with SQLCipher, and all communication with the server is protected with TLS. FREE AND PREMIUM Logging procedures is free, and the free logbook shows your last 7 days. Premium adds statistics, the assistant, your Google Sheet, team sharing and your full history. Monthly and annual subscriptions are available. A 7-day free trial starts when you link your Google account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings. IMPORTANT OpData-Drive is a personal training and career logbook for doctors. It is not used by patients, it is not a medical device or a clinical decision support system, and it does not diagnose, recommend treatment, book appointments or provide any healthcare service. Complying with your institution's rules and applicable privacy regulations for what you enter is your responsibility.
