At $4.99 in the itunes Store MediMath is a deal. There are plastic lamented cards you can buy for the same price that don't have nearly as much information, and certainly don't do the calculations for you. For any student that struggles to remember all the points of the Glasgow Comma Scale, or the finer points of calculating a MELD score this is a fantastic app. I would also recommend this application for the most seasoned of nurses that is looking to save time of looking up formulas, searching for a calculator or being forced to do long division on the side of his charts.

Opening up that app is simple as any of them, once you open the app the functionality is immediately easy to understand. As soon as it has launched you can easily find all the calculations at your finger tips, or if you want to customize it there are also some other features.

Since there is a long list of medications MediMath allows you to create a favourites list. This means that if are working with any particular set due to client population or your work setting you can save yourself the time of scrolling through the list every time. If you are nurse, physician or resident working on any other floor there are also pre-built lists that you can use based on setting and organs. These may not be perfect, but they do get you off to a great start for easy to use lists.

The other feature that I think clinicians will really love is that there is a 'recent' tab. This means that when you calculated a score when rounding on a patient and then need to chart it you won't have to put in all the values again. Likewise if a patient or their family member asks you to recall one of the values you have it easily on hand.

This application is not just for medical rating systems, you can also do IV Rate, Dose, and Calculations using this app*. All of which are extremely important and one on a regular basis.

The reason I like this application over some of the other applications that have built in calculators is because of the apps simplicity. It does not try to be a swiss army knife; it does one thing, calculations, and it does that very well! Now, the only reason I was able to deduct some points for this app, is although it does a lot, it does not have any educational information. So for a clinician I think this app is a 5/5 for a clinician, however I want to make sure students know it is a great tool, not an educator so make sure you don't rely on it to much before you are ready.

*By no means do I think that this, or any other application is a substitute for learning the basics. You really should be able to calculate a drip rate if you don't have your iPhone within reach, and so you understand what you are actually doing!
