    These are some great applications! We think RememberItNow! should be added to the list after our launch in September. Our easy-to-use service:

    * Improves medication compliance. Ourt text message and/or email reminders help patients take the right medication, at the right time, in the right dose. This improves patient health, fosters independence and reduces health care costs.

    * Connects patients, friends, family, caregivers, and health care providers. Patients create a private care community enabling care coordination, long-distance care giving, and peace-of-mind.

    * Simplifies health care management. RememberItNow! provides a complete picture of medications, tracks health statistics, sends appointment reminders, helps users organize website links, offers a wellness journal and chart, and organizes contact information.

    RememberItNow! is the best way to take control of your health, or the health care of someone you love. Check us out at http://www.rememberitnow.com

    or watch our video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tFYe-0hKYY

    We are currently looking for partipants who would like to provide feedback on our service. In exchange for a free 5-month subscription, we would appreciate some comments or suggestions.

    Images: The images shown in this article would be useless to anyone because there is not enough power in the video to have any detail. There is not enough memory in the iPhone to actually store one of these images. Ok, lets say it is a small image the size of the iTune examples 320×480x65,000 (color) / 8 (bytes) = one big image.

    I’d like to nominate Skeletal System:

    I think epocrates is absolutely fabulous. As a practicing physician, I use epocrates multiple times every day to make sure of dosages, side effects, costs, and for cheaper alternatives. It is a powerful yet simple and intuitive program.

    I believe that the software should be on every clinician’s, residents, interns, and nurse’s phone.

  • J

    ePocrates drug monographs are extremely helpful and easy to find the info you need, especially helpful are the health plan formularies as this has become such an issue over the years. Drug interaction checking and medical calculators quite useful and often come in handy. The Pill identifier with pictures has been a tremendous help on more than one occasion. Nice way to keep up on the latest medical news as well!

  • http://blog.denticle.com jflucke

    With its wealth of information and easy to use format, ePocrates is a gold mine of information for health care professionals. The iPhone ap is amazing with tons of reliable frequently updated info and photos that are easy to see. ePocrates continues to lead the way for health care professionals by making a concerted effort to constantly improve their program. Highly recommended!

  • JSB

    There are a lot of applications for the iPhone and sorting through them is difficult. While I’ve used many different apps, Epocrates is the one that has made it to my home screen. In just seconds, I can see the info I need. I can look up pill strengths, formulary information, and find the pill pictures essential when I’m seeing patients in the ER. I’d say that I find myself checking Epocrates throughout the day.

  • John Luo

    I think it is helpful to make a distinction between top apps for the general public versus healthcare professionals. In that regard, I think ePocrates is the must have application, because the information is relevant, concise, easy to navigate, and it is the only medical application that I use daily, so I’ve moved it to my home page. The rest of them are on medical application grouping that I use less frequently.

  • http://mobihealthnews.com Brian Dolan

    John, I agree. And to that end, I believe the “medical” category exists as a place for apps intended for use by healthcare professionals. The “healthcare & fitness” category of iPhone apps, by contrast, is the place for the general public. Clearly, the apps in these categories do not abide by the distinction all the time, but on the whole it seems true.

    I think Sad Scale is a great app. It helps screen for depression and helps keep track of moods… It emails my doctor. I think it is a great med app

    Hopefully, once apple allows access to the serial interaction with the 3.0 software, we’ll start to see some really exciting hardware add-ons and medical software apps for processionals as demonstrated in the 3.0 keynote

    Nice to mention MedCalc in your list, but the screenshot is from Medical Calculator, which another program altogether and is not free. You can go to MedCalc’s website http://medcalc.ch for a screenshot if you’d like.

    Besides Epocrates & Medscape, students should also try these free medical APPs. Me personaly, I really like these two “Free” medical Apps. This is what I used before they Epocrates came out for my ANDROID.

    I recommend FORMULARY for anyone studying or working in the UK. It gives you quick and easy access to the full BNF (British national Formulary). A must have for any UK-based doctor or medical student, and only costs £3.
