Medscape app review

Reviews

Medscape

Price: Free

Medscape by WebMD is meant to be a medical resource tool for those in the health care industry.

This app is designed for medical students, physicians, healthcare professionals, and nurses. The app is absolutely full of clinical information meant to help out these professionals.

You'll find plenty of clinical reference information here including details about diseases, conditions and procedures. There more than 600 procedure videos with step-by-step instructions, more than 4,000 articles based on evidence authored by leading physician experts, and more than 100 protocols and tables.

If you are interested in reading up on drug related information you'll find that as well. There is prescribing and safety details for more than 8,000 generic and brand drugs, herbals and supplements, and OTC drugs. The drug interaction checker can come in extremely handy and you can save commonly-searched drugs for easy access.

There are tools as well such as the 129 medical formulas, classifications, and scales, and more than 600 drug monographs with dosing calculators that are integrated.

As a great bonus the drug interaction checker and the clinical reference database can be accessed without an Internet connection.

Medscape was updated on Dec. 14, 2012 and has 120 customer ratings with an average rating of four and a half stars out of five.

Because I'm not in the medical field it's hard for me to comment on the quality of the material here. I do find that the app itself is very easy to navigate and there seems to be a very substantial amount of reference material and handy tools.

For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 5.0 or later
