Geriatric vs Geriatric CGA

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.

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).
