Pedi-STAT is a rapid reference for RNs, paramedics, physicians and other healthcare professionals caring for pediatric patients in the emergency or critical care environment. ************************************ Reviews ************************************ Among "The Best Drug Reference Apps for Emergency Physicians" - Emergency Physicians Monthly 5 STARS - "Simple interface provides rapid access to critical data needed when managing a critically ill pediatric patient" 5 Stars - "Very useful for treating kids in high pressure situations with precision." ***************************** Pedi-STAT features include: - Rapid results for airway interventions including endotracheal tube sizes, depth, intubation medication dosages, ventilator settings, and sedation - Cardiac resuscitation data including weight specific dosages for resuscitation medications, cardioversion, and defibrillation - Access to age and weight specific pediatric equipment including foley catheters, airway management, chest and NG tubes, peripheral and central line sizes, and more - Seizure medication dosages - Management of hypoglycemia including age specific dextrose concentrations - Reference of age specific normal vital signs - Procedural sedation dosages including single dose meds and infusions, as well as reversal agents - Calculated pain management medications - Medical management of allergic reactions and anaphylaxis Users can quickly access critical information accurately, without having to rely on memory or cumbersome textbooks. With just a few taps, users have access to all the necessary data to care for a pediatric patient in the emergent setting, including weight-based and age specific medication dosages and equipment sizes. Since many of the patients present with minimal known information, all the results can be calculated rapidly with only a known age, date-of-birth, weight, length, or height. Simply enter the known variable and the data is instantly calculated. Developed by an Emergency Physician, this app minimizes the risk of medical errors allowing the provider to spend more time caring for the patient, and less time looking up and calculating doses. It is a critical companion for any physician, nurse, paramedic, or medical trainee involved in the care of critically ill pediatric patients.
Synapse Evals

Synapse Evals is the voice-first evaluation platform built for medical residency programs. Attending physicians record feedback verbally — no typing, no forms, no friction. Synapse transcribes the recording and delivers it directly to the resident. Program directors get a real-time compliance record without the administrative burden. DESIGNED FOR HOW ATTENDINGS ACTUALLY WORK Voice recording takes seconds between cases. No keyboards, no login hassles, no end-of-month scramble to remember what happened. The result: residents get more feedback, faster, and of higher quality. FOR RESIDENTS Receive feedback immediately after it's recorded. Review every evaluation submitted for you across your residency — timely, specific, and coming from attendings who aren't bogged down by paperwork. FOR PROGRAM DIRECTORS A live dashboard showing every evaluation submitted across your program. Generate AI-powered summaries across large volumes of evaluations to build cases or prepare for resident round tables. Export-ready documentation for ACGME compliance. Manage your full roster of residents and evaluators. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Voice recordings are transcribed and immediately deleted — only the text is stored. Feedback stays within your program. No data is shared across programs or institutions. Synapse Evals is for attending-to-resident clinical education feedback only. It is not a patient record system and should never be used to record or transmit patient information.
