Monash FODMAP Diet - Monash University

Monash FODMAP Diet
Monash University
Genre: Medical
Price: $9.99
Release Date: December 17, 2012

Researchers at Monash University have developed the low FODMAP diet and a corresponding app to assist in the management of gastrointestinal symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The Monash University FODMAP diet works by swapping foods high in fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs), with low FODMAP alternatives. Around 75% of people with IBS experience symptom relief on a low FODMAP diet.

The app comes directly from the research team at Monash and includes the following:

- General information about the FODMAP diet and IBS.
- Easy to understand tutorials to guide you through the app and the 3-Step FODMAP diet.
- A Food Guide detailing the FODMAP content for hundreds of foods using a simple 'traffic light system'.
- A list of branded products that have been certified by Monash as low FODMAP.
- A collection of over 70 nutritious, low FODMAP recipes.
- Functions that allow you to create your own shopping list and add notes to individual foods
- A Diary that enables you to record food eaten, IBS symptoms, bowel habits and stress levels. The Diary will also guide you through step 2 of the diet - FODMAP reintroduction.
- The ability to adjust units of measurement (metric or imperial) and activate colour blindness assistance.

Pedi-STAT is a rapid reference for RNs, paramedics, physicians and other healthcare professionals caring for pediatric patients in the emergency or critical care environment.

************************************
Reviews
************************************

Among "The Best Drug Reference Apps for Emergency Physicians" - Emergency Physicians Monthly

5 STARS - "Simple interface provides rapid access to critical data needed when managing a critically ill pediatric patient"

5 Stars - "Very useful for treating kids in high pressure situations with precision."

*****************************

Pedi-STAT features include:

- Rapid results for airway interventions including endotracheal tube sizes, depth, intubation medication dosages, ventilator settings, and sedation

- Cardiac resuscitation data including weight specific dosages for resuscitation medications, cardioversion, and defibrillation

- Access to age and weight specific pediatric equipment including foley catheters, airway management, chest and NG tubes, peripheral and central line sizes, and more

- Seizure medication dosages

- Management of hypoglycemia including age specific dextrose concentrations

- Reference of age specific normal vital signs

- Procedural sedation dosages including single dose meds and infusions, as well as reversal agents

- Calculated pain management medications

- Medical management of allergic reactions and anaphylaxis

Users can quickly access critical information accurately, without having to rely on memory or cumbersome textbooks.

With just a few taps, users have access to all the necessary data to care for a pediatric patient in the emergent setting, including weight-based and age specific medication dosages and equipment sizes.

Since many of the patients present with minimal known information, all the results can be calculated rapidly with only a known age, date-of-birth, weight, length, or height. Simply enter the known variable and the data is instantly calculated.

Developed by an Emergency Physician, this app minimizes the risk of medical errors allowing the provider to spend more time caring for the patient, and less time looking up and calculating doses.

It is a critical companion for any physician, nurse, paramedic, or medical trainee involved in the care of critically ill pediatric patients.

Perfect OB Wheel - Evan Schoenberg

Perfect OB Wheel
Evan Schoenberg
Genre: Medical
Price: $2.99
Release Date: October 16, 2008

Simple, fast, yet more thorough than any other pregnancy wheel available for the iPhone, Perfect OB Wheel is better than just a replacement for your trusty paper wheel.

Here's why Perfect OB Wheel is your best choice of gestational calculator:

1) Input flexibility: Start with one of:
• Last menstrual period (LMP)
• Conception date
• Estimated date of confinement/delivery (EDC)
• Ultrasound dating: Number of weeks and days gestation as of a given date ("X Weeks").

2) Input speed: Other wheels for the iPhone make you conform to them for entering your patient's information. Why not be able to choose based on how you are holding the phone and what else you are doing at the same time?
• Use the numeric entry pad (0 3 3 0 2 0 0 8) and immediately see the results, OR
• Spin the date wheel at the bottom of the screen and tap Next.

3) Thorough results: All the information you would expect from a classic wheel, plus more:
• Estimated Due Date
• LMP Date
• Conception Date
• 1st Trimester End Date
• 2nd Trimester End Date
• Gestational Age
• Conceptional Age
• Expected Fetal Length based on standard fetal growth curves
• Expected Fetal Weight based on standard fetal growth curves ("How much does my baby weigh, doctor?")

Results are relative to 'today' by default; this can be quickly changed to reflect any date by tapping the 'today' button and selecting a new date.

4) Accurate results: Perfect OB Wheel provides exact dates and accounts for all calendar variance, including leap years.

5) Persistence: Perfect OB Wheel remembers the date and date type you last used and restores them when launched to streamline your workflow.

6) Perfect OB Tracker upgrade: Available as an in-app purchase update, the Perfect OB Tracker lets you track any number of pregnancies, with at-a-glance due date and gestational age and one-tap access to all the data Perfect OB Wheel provides. A picture and text notes can be kept on each patient. Postpartum tracking is also available. Passcode locking is available for HIPAA compliance.

CTAS - Official Version - Pacific Rim Nursing

CTAS - Official Version
Pacific Rim Nursing
Genre: Medical
Price: $9.99
Release Date: January 29, 2013

This is the official application of the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) as authored by the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP), the National Emergency Nurses’ Affiliation and other partner organizations.

This application is in English or French, depending on the language set on your device. (Non-English and French Devices will show the English Version only). Proceeds from the sale of this App supports future development of the CTAS and its educational materials.

This application walks the user through patient complaints in assisting nurses and physicians to assign acuity levels using the complaint oriented triage lists and modifiers. All lists and modifier definitions and data are within the application and therefore no data connection is required.

By using the official application, nurses and physicians can be assured that they are using the most current and accurate scale as developed and revised by the National Working Group.

Triage accurately! It helps patients receive the care and measures your acuity and volume against other facilities with reliability. The CTAS is used in many countries around the world for setting patient priority.

The Canadian Triage & Acuity Scale (CTAS) is a tool that enables Emergency Departments (ED) to:

•Prioritize patient care requirements
•Examine patient care processes, workload, and resource requirements relative to case mix and community needs

The CTAS allows ED nurses and physicians to:
•Triage patients according the type and severity of their presenting signs and symptoms
•Ensure that the sickest patients are seen first when ED capacity has been exceeded due to visit rates or reduced access to other services
•Ensure that a patient's need for care is reassessed while in the ED

The CTAS allows ED managers to:
•Measure the case mix (volume and acuity) of patients who visit the ED
•Determine whether the ED has an operational plan and the resources to meet patient needs
•Assess the ED's role within the hospital and health care region

The triage level assigned using the CTAS criteria is a mandatory data element to be used in all Canadian Hospital Emergency Departments for reporting to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).

Training in the use of the CTAS in the clinical context is recommended before using this application to assist in clinical decision-making.

Freya • Surge Timer
The Positive Birth Company Ltd.
Genre: Medical
Price: $6.99
Release Date: February 8, 2019

Meet Freya, the world’s first hypnobirthing-friendly birth timer, brought to you by The Positive Birth Company. This award-winning birth timer supports you through labour, coaching you through every single surge (or contraction) with a simple breathing technique and guided relaxations.

Put hypnobirthing techniques into practice during pregnancy, labour and childbirth
Relax between surges with a mix of guided relaxations, positive affirmations, gentle music and calming visualisations
Birth timer that keeps track of surges, logging each surge or contraction so you can see how frequently they are coming and how long they are lasting
Receive a notification from Freya when your labour is established and it might be a good time to call your midwife
Use Freya during pregnancy to practice breathing techniques and relaxation
Available in French, German, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian

Never birth alone with Freya by your side.

TRACK YOUR SURGES
In hypnobirthing we refer to contractions as surges, because a ‘surge’ more accurately describes the sensation you’ll experience when in labour. Freya is the ONLY hypnobirthing-friendly contraction timer on the app store, designed specifically with hypnobirthing mums in mind, using appropriate terminology, but can be used by anyone. If you would like to know more about Hypnobirthing, follow The Positive Birth Company on Instagram or Tik Tok where we share loads of free resources to make your birth better.

PREPARE FOR BIRTH
You can use this birth timer in pregnancy to help you relax and prepare for childbirth. In fact the more you practice your breathing and listen to the guided relaxations and positive affirmations, the more familiar they will become and the more effective they will be at helping you relax when it comes to birth. Positive affirmations have been proven to change the way your mind works and listening regularly will help you feel less anxious and more confident in the lead up to birth. You can practice daily and then reset the surge history whenever you like.

THE SCIENCE
We know the more relaxed you are during birth, the more oxytocin you will produce. Oxytocin helps your uterus to work efficiently, making labour faster and more comfortable.

LIFESKILLS
Freya can be used for pregnancy and post-birth relaxation, any time you feel you could benefit from taking some deep breaths or need some help finding your zen. Everything you learn - mindfulness exercises and breathing techniques - are skills for life.

If you have any questions or spot any pesky bugs lurking about the place please do let us know at hello@thepositivebirthcompany.com

WHAT YOU’LL GET:
- iPhone and Apple Watch app
- Timer to record your surges (also known as a contraction timer) and let you know when you’re in established labour
- Coaching audio to keep your mind focused on breathing through each surge and the ability to switch between 4 and 8 breath counts or 3 and 6, or turn the counting off altogether.
- 4 different birth coach voices
- Guided relaxations, positive affirmations and soothing visuals to help keep you relaxed between surges
- A gentle expanding visualisation that you can use to sync your breathing
- Option to record your own music, visualisations or relaxation tracks
- You can listen to your own playlist on a third party app (such as Spotify) whilst still using the Freya app to keep track of your surges and coach you through each one.
- A detailed log of your surges over time, so you can track your progress through labour, reset this after you practice breathwork at any time
- Ability to easily share the log with your birth partner, midwife or doula
- Coaching created by renowned hypnobirthing expert Siobhan Miller, founder of The Positive Birth Company

Download the ONLY hypnobirthing-friendly birth timer on the App Store and prepare to meet your baby in the best possible way, feeling calm and confident, relaxed and happy!
