As we have noted before, because of the iTunes AppStore’s popularity, trying to pin down the Top Ten Free Apps in a given category is like trying to shoot a moving target. That said, the headline of this post is a bit tongue-in-cheek, because by tomorrow or even by tonight this list will probably be dated, too. For the sake of taking a pulse check on the medical app offerings for the iPhone and iTouch, however, we will forge ahead.
Just like our list from March, the current, most popular medical apps list is dominated by well-known medical software publishers like Medscape, Epocrates, Skyscape and others. In the past few months, however, Medscape has unseated Epocrates as the current top free medical app for the iPhone platform. Newcomers like uHear have also made an impression after considerable media buzz surrounded their launch.
Remember: These are just the apps that happen to be getting the most downloads currently. Here are the real top ten iPhone medical apps according to Apple’s list of most downloaded ones.
Be sure to let us know if they deserve the distinction.
1) Medscape
WebMD Health has launched a Medscape CME iPhone app for physicians. Medscape Mobile is a free iPhone and iPod Touch app that includes information for more than 6,000 generic and brand-name drugs, herbals, supplements and antidotes, a drug interaction checker, clinical reference tools, medical news and continuing medical education (CME). The app also includes contact info for more than 400,000 physicians, 57,000 pharmacies and 6,000 hospitals.
