Residipok is a pocket reference for licensed healthcare professionals, trainees, and medical students of accredited health-professions programs. TWO MODULES (v0.4) • MIC Lookup Choose a bacterium and an antibiotic to see the EUCAST v16.0 (2026) Clinical Breakpoint thresholds — S, I, R bands by clinical context (systemic, meningitis, urinary, high-dose). Enter an MIC value to categorise it. Special states clearly labelled when no breakpoint is published or the organism is intrinsically resistant. Built especially for pan-resistance scenarios where every threshold matters. • ESC Guideline Reference Structured Class / Level of Evidence summaries of recent ESC cardiology guidelines, covering acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, endocarditis, cardiomyopathies, valvular disease, pulmonary hypertension and embolism, peripheral arterial disease, dyslipidaemia, prevention, pregnancy, syncope, supraventricular tachycardia, and more. Each recommendation card links back to the original guideline on escardio.org. IMPORTANT — REFERENCE ONLY • Residipok is NOT a medical device. • It does NOT diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. • It is NOT a substitute for clinical judgement or for the original published guideline / breakpoint table. • Always verify against the current EUCAST table and the latest ESC document before clinical reporting. Requires confirmation of HCP / trainee status on first launch. Sign-in by email, Apple, or Google.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ESC Pocket Guidelines at none against Residipok's shown. Residipok's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
