Trusted for over 15 years by heart rhythm professionals worldwide, epTools is a collection of useful tools for the evaluation of heart rhythm disorders. It is available on iPhone and iPad devices. Resources include algorithms used to localize arrhythmia substrates and reference guides to assist in the identification and, management of cardiac rhythm disorders and tools to calculate commonly used measurements and risk scores. Peer-reviewed algorithms are implemented by tools via an intuitive user interface. References are provided. Tools guide the user or AI through a series of questions to arrive at an answer while providing a graphical visualization of their progress and result of their analysis. Use of the save path to image feature allows users to save an image of the current decision path when using many of the decision analysis tools included. These images, which appear in the photo album, may be useful to communicate findings with colleagues. Included tools: Preexcitation variant localization: Arruda, Milstein, Taguchi , D'Avila, Li, Pambrun, Baek and Crinion and O'Leary et al.

About

ManageMR

This medical app offers personalized referral and treatment guidance for mitral regurgitation patients. It analyzes echo assessment parameters to determine MR severity, etiology, and recommend appropriate interventions like valve repair or replacement.

Highlights
  • Personalized referral advice
  • Treatment recommendations
  • MR severity and etiology analysis
  • Mitral valve repair vs. replacement feasibility
  • Echo assessment parameter entry
Features
Read full description

This clinical decision support app provides clinicians with personalized referral and treatment advice for diagnosed mitral regurgitation patients by verifying the severity and etiology of the MR. • Enter patient parameters from an echo assessment. • Review customized advice on - Probable severity and etiology of a patient’s MR - Need for referral - Feasibility of mitral valve repair vs. replacement for the patient Content in this app is derived from the 2017 ACC Expert Consensus Decision Pathway on the Management of Mitral Regurgitation. The information and recommendations in this clinical decision support app are not meant to represent the only or best course of care nor replace clinical judgment. Therapeutic options should be determined after discussion between the patient and their care provider.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ManageMR at Free against epTools's $19.99. ManageMR also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). epTools's advantage is ratings volume (519 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 21 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
