Medical Reference Materials and Beyond! Amazing Medical Apps

Medical purists may not agree with the use of iPhone medical apps as an alternative to actual medical reference materials. The fact is that people are already using these medical apps as an alternative to huge books and other ways to find this information. Many of these apps provide information, suggest action, and do some amazing (if not unbelievable) things. If after reading this article, you want to check out more than these 10 apps, visit our entire collection of the Top 1,000 iPhone Medical Apps. Here are the 10 Best iPhone Medical Apps:

ACLS Advisor – Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support	The Merck Manual – Home Edition
Many of these reference iPhone medical apps (including this one) are not meant to completely replace textbooks, but rather they are meant to serve as instant guides during emergencies. This app works exactly during those situations. It works as a decision-engine; the app can assess a patient’s characteristics and, based on those, will advise what to do to facilitate resuscitation.	Easily one of the most useful iPhone medical apps to have, this manual (in any version) is a must have resource. This mobile version of the Merck Manual Home Health Handbook allows you to access it anywhere, even without WiFi access. This manual was written by 300 medical experts worldwide. It is easy to navigate and you can find the information you need easily and quick, which is great for emergencies. You will be hard pressed to find anything more reliable.
Medical Calculator	Total Baby
This is among the iPhone medical apps for medical students and medical professionals. Medical Calculator provides several medical formulas and equations, such as the Absolute Neurophile Count, Body Mass Index and Child-Pugh Score. Not exactly useful for everyone, this app is perfect for those in the medical profession.	A baby logging app, Total Baby works as a timer to keep track of your baby’s needs, from diaper changing to feeding and more. You can even create your own category to fit the situation. The app can also hold data (such as a daily diary and/or to note doctor visits) so you can really be involved in the growth of your child, every step of the way.
Diagnosaurus DDx	FDA Drugs
One of the most powerful diagnostic iPhone medical apps, Diagnosaurus DDx is currently being used by medical professionals and students. This app can help diagnose conditions according to symptoms, diseases, and organ systems. It is also incredibly easy to navigate considering how powerful it is. With more 1,000 diagnoses, this app can answer many medical questions.	There are several iPhone medical apps that provide information on drugs. However, FDA Drugs can be considered as one of the best iPhone medical apps in this area because of two things: its deep catalog of medications and the fact that it only provides information on FDA approved medications. Get everything you need to know about one of the more than 13,000 drugs listed on this app.
Cry Translator	Memory Matrix
This is an iPhone medical app that seems almost too good to be true. Cry Translator decodes a baby’s cry for you, telling you if the cry is due to hunger, stress, boredom, annoyance, or sleepiness!	Not really an actual medical application, Memory Matrix is an iPhone game that serves as a brain trainer. Although its full benefits are yet to be discovered, it’s no doubt that this app is a whole lot of fun.
Grays Anatomy – Deluxe	HeartWise Blood Pressure Monitor
Many iPhone medical apps claim that they should not serve as replacements for actual reference books. Well, this app is exactly the opposite. Grays Anatomy – Deluxe is a mobile version of the renowned medical textbook Gray’s Anatomy by Henry Gray. Get the complete text and have the ability to search for specific content, among others.	This app cannot measure your blood pressure. However, what this app does is calculate and interpret what your blood pressure means.
