Breastfeeding Management 2


Although most of the information on this app is useful for the novice pediatrician or support staff, the calculator section is simple and straightforward. The weight-loss calculator is probably the most useful function, as weights in the office are often recorded in pounds, which makes it difficult to calculate the percent weight loss without a calculator. This app can calculate the percent weight change using either pounds or kilograms.
However, the feeding calculator is another useful component of this app that can be used to reassure new moms. The feeding calculator allows the pediatrician to enter the age of baby in days, number of feedings per day, and whether Mom had a cesarean section. It then calculates an average amount per feeding using data from the World Health Organization (WHO) for comparison. For example, an infant on the third day of life receiving 10 feedings a day after a vaginal delivery, the expected average amount per feeding is 0.8 oz. This is also helpful for moms who are pumping and concerned they are not supplying enough milk.

Human Anatomy Atlas 2019

Image
Human Anatomy Atlas contains a vibrant series of three dimensional pictures of the human body. Without a doubt the most impressive feature of this app is the augmented reality mode. When using the augmented reality app, interactive 3D models appear on any flat surface that the mobile device is pointed at. Moving the device through the model moves through different layers or cross-sections of the model from gross anatomy to the micro-anatomy of special organs. The 3D models can be accompanied by texts and can be viewed next to illustrations and photographs to help the user better understand the material. You can create 3D fly-through tours of your favourite body parts, or create a library of favourite bits, or annotate certain views by drawing on them (with a fairly feeble pen tool — no choice of thickness or color) or typing notes. You can also search for a certain anatomical feature, get help, or choose a different language (seven are available). There are also 128 quizzes,...

Abilify MyCite by Proteus Biomedical

Image
Example of a digital medicine system Photo: Proteus Digital Health The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first digital pill [1] for the US which tracks if patients have taken their medication. The pill called Abilify MyCite, is fitted with a tiny ingestible sensor that communicates with a patch worn by the patient — the patch then transmits medication data to a smartphone app which the patient can voluntarily upload to a database for their doctor and other authorized persons to see. Abilify is a drug that treats schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and is an add-on treatment for depression. The thinking behind this idea is founded upon the fact that compliance with doctors’ instructions has been identified as a key problem in medicine and healthcare. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 50 percent of patients do not take their medications correctly whilst the NHS report that the annual cost of unused medication is estimated to be up to £400 million.
