INTRODUCTION: From the creators of the original iOS Clinical Diagnosis App range comes Geriatric 2.0, a unique medical calculator that helps Geriatricians and General Medics alike to treat diseases and disabilities (such as dementia, depression, and daily living issues) in older patients. APP OVERVIEW: Akin to other Doctot Apps, the gold standard care pathways within (which include the: - Abbreviated Mental Test Score, - Geriatric Depression Scale, - Elderly Mobility Scale, - Modified Barthel ADL Index, and - Berg Balance Scale) are presented in a "wizard" format, which quickly and intuitively guides the user through the various steps that are involved. To assist the Medical Practitioner, each scale has not only an exact Scoring system (with accompanying Alerts, Advice and Suggestions) but a comprehensive Information section that provides relevant background details. A pioneering Best Practice Points System, as well as innovative Stopwatch, Camera, Notepad, Clock and Shake-to-Reset functionality are also contained within. FURTHER FEATURES: To help meet the needs and wants of Medical Professionals, Doctot included within this Next-Gen App: - a Patient Results Management System - Patient Assessment Result Data Transfer options - Integrated Information / News sections - Touch ID and PIN Protection Security options - Networking and Messaging functionality, amongst much more. BENEFITS: Like all of our Clinical Diagnosis Aids, our Geriatric App (which was devised and quality-assured by Consultant Geriatrician, Prof. Declan Lyons) was created to help: - Make More Informed Clinical Decisions - Enhance Patient Safety - Reduce the Risk of Medical Errors - Provide Greater Treatment Recommendations and Management Strategies - Treat and Manage Greater Patient Numbers - Save Critical Time Indeed, this Doctot "X Series" App (which includes a high percentage of exclusive scales) was specifically crafted to help improve the: - Accuracy, - Efficiency, - Usability, - Speed, - Clarity, - Reliability, and - Accessibility, of Geriatric-related assessment/treatment protocols. DOWNLOAD FOR FREE: Fusing many aspects of Not-For-Profits and B Corps upon formation, Doctot (who have partnered with the likes of WHO/IOF, GOLD and SINTEF) are initially making this stylish and sophisticated Point-of-Care App available Free-Of-Charge (offering full, unrestricted access to all material within). P.S. For details of evolving App features, please keep an eye on our website (http://www.doctot.com/). P.P.S.

Never have we appreciated it more. *Doctot - Proudly Supporting Hundreds of Thousands of Health Care Professionals in over 150 Countries*

Medical Simulation on the iPhone and iPad. Excellent learning tool for doctors, medical students, nurses and paramedics/EMS. Undertake realistic medical simulation training without the need for expensive/high-fidelity mannequins. Perfect revision aid for life support courses, OSCE exam preparation or ad hoc teaching. Verbally create a scenario as simple or as complex as the teacher wishes. If the student has a 2nd device, connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and the 2nd device becomes a realistic monitor. If the student initiates appropriate management for the simulated patient, the teacher can improve the patient’s vital signs. If not... the patient can deteriorate and eventually suffer cardiac arrest. The teacher can alter multiple patient parameters as the scenario evolves: - ECG - BP - Arterial Line - SpO2 - Resp Rate - Temperature - Fingerprick Glucose - Capnography (once intubated) - End-Tidal CO2 - Lab results - Haematology/Biochemistry/Blood gases Change ECG rhythms instantly or via defibrillation/CPR cycle. Choose from an extensive list of ECG rhythms (In App Purchase required to access advanced waveforms) •Normal Sinus Rhythm •VF •VT •Asystole •Various AV conduction defects •AF •AF with digoxin effect •Torsades de Pointes •Atrial Flutter •Flutter Pause •Bigeminy •Electrical Alternans •Mild / Severe hyperkalaemia •Junctional Escape •Long QT •Multiple Ectopics •Pacemaker with and without capture •Pre-Excited AF •ST elevation / depression •SVT •Wolf Parkinson White Once intubated, multiple capnography options are available (In App Purchase Required to access advanced waveforms) •Normal Breathing •Rebreathing •Obstructive Breathing •Apnoea •Breathing System Disconnection •Malignant Hyperpyrexia •Inadequate Paralysis •Acute Loss of Cardiac Output

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Geriatric at 5.0 against TruMonitor's 3.7. Geriatric also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15). TruMonitor's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (49 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
