Five Apps for the Gastroenterologist
Mini_discussion_bubble TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog - Posted Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:00:00 UTC +00:00
Sometime this summer a wiseacre commenter (we get a few) suggested we do a "Five Apps" for a variety of somewhat offbeat topics. One wasn't so far-fetched however: gastroenterologist. One could say that a gastro doc has about the same needs as any doctor, of course, and that's an easy out. So here are 5 apps that are great for gastroenterologists and possibly any medical specialist... Coming soon: 5 apps for the lemur owner. Epocrates Rx - This free app looks up drugs and is updated weekly. Epocrates [iTunes link] has already been available for other mobile platforms for a while, this is a must-have for physicians, I would think. There's also a Pro version that is designed for medical professionals, and it requires a yearly subscription fee to work. It's $99 for one year, which is pretty reasonable for what this does -- which includes an amazing pill ID tool. Read More

Reviews

Free rip-off
NateGD 1.0 stars Version: 1.4
I installed the new application - supposedly an upgrade - and now I have to buy Pubsearch Plus if I want to see more than the first 10 abstracts. WTF DeathRay? Oh well, it's not like this was very useful anyway. The application crashes every 2 seconds.
Shameful update...
Dr. Dactyl 1.0 stars Version: 1.4
Taking away the email function is very disappointing.
Great! Convenient.
seatactom 5.0 stars Version: 1.4
Easy to use. You get to the abstract you need with a lot less keystrokes. The display output is simple, so it loads pages quickly. You can even search individual fields using square brackets (e.g. Jones[au] AND cancer[ti] AND 2000[dp])
Ok
mdsawyermd 3.0 stars Version: 1.4
Last update took away email results from the free version and put only in the paid version, and limits you to 10 results. Crashes when it can't find a connection; would have been nice if the author put his programming time into fixing the crashes rather than further gimping the free version to pressure people to upgrade to the paid version.
search my Pubs
Boneyfun 3.0 stars Version: 1.3
good app. odd name. I don't like searching pub.
Poorly written interface
Euroeric 1.0 stars Version: 1.4
This pubmed search tool didn't come close to expectations. You are only able to enter search terms, NO refining your search by restricting to certain journals, languages, using logical operators, etc. 1 star for a decent first shot I guess. For now I still search pubmed on the desktop
Crashes
Medpub 1.0 stars Version: 1.3
After viewing two pages of results the app crashes.
So close to awesome
Rlburton.tb 3.0 stars Version: 1.3
A good app; more user friendly than pubmed website on the iPhone, but much less features. The ability to select, save, and group articles into categories would be great. Expanded search options also a plus.
Thank you!
Detroit Soul 3.0 stars Version: 1.2
Please, update the version in application info section. It still reads 1.1
Yes, it crashes...

Great and useful app for those in the science/medical field ... Thank you!
Wow..... Really does keep me current in the Health Care Field! Thank you.
rollingstonereader 5.0 stars Version: 1.2
Love the program but it is hard for me to get past the name death-ray-pizza? Would love to hear why?
great app
Lee C. Rogers 5.0 stars Version: 1.2
This is a fantastic app. It's fast and allows you to read the abstracts.
Great App!!! Simple, Quick, & Intuitive.
JEM11 4.0 stars Version: 1.2
PubSearch Plus is the perfect app for anybody in the clinical science arena - esp. for those working in/assoc. with an academic center. Pubsearch essentially places all (institution) subscribed electronic medical journals right in your pocket with Abstract & Full text options. No crashes or freezes to date. Great App all around.
Simple and does the job
bowb4jeff 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
Great for quick finds while in class/hospital/etc.
Nice!
545h4 4.0 stars Version: 1.2
If only we could cut & paste into subscribed journal databases for full articles!
Crashes when clicking on the next 20 results
BillyJon 2.0 stars Version: 1.3
it crashes when i need to view the next 20 results of my search...it will be good if they fix this bug
Great App especially for graduate students and scientists!
Jala27 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I just installed this app and think that it is a great resource. I have successfully gotten results by searching for keyword, journal, or author's names! Every graduate student should install this app! Great job deathraypizza!!!
Quite good
Anthony Gonsalves 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
I wish one could go to the next abstract from one abstract without having to go back to the list again.
PubMed on the go...
DeepSoul72 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
Finally a simple search tool for PubMed! Works plain & simple. The roadmap of upcoming features (especially saved searches) also looks promising. Filters would also be great (reviews, filter by date). Using the same tools, you could also set up a journal search so you can keep up with new items filtered by journal and save the list of journals that you follow. Keep up the good work!
this is a great app for practicing physicians!
Bsydoc 5.0 stars Version: 1.1
this is great..have used 2 days at work now and found it amazingly fast at looking up quick summaries of articles that i can then email myself the reference for later reading on a topic related to patient care..I am a hospitalist and find this very useful as I dont always have time to look things up on up to date..
Very good but needs at least one improvement
1326-169 4.0 stars Version: 1.2
Great little app. Very fast and works as advertised. Would get 5 stars IF could return to the list after emailing the article. Right now if you email an article, when you return to the app it is blank and you have to start your search all over again. Very frustrating. So if you could either: (1) allow a user to select multiple abstracts to email; or even better (2) allow the user to return to the found list after emailing one article. Thanks.
Nice work!
News junky 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
I like the option to email a citation - for a future version, could you include the PMID link to facilitate getting the article online?
