This app calculates mortality rate to assess prognosis after myocardial infarction. It is based on age and sex of the patient, cardiovascular past history, blood pressure, heart failure severity prior to the MI, electrocardiogram, rhythm, AST levels. The electrocardiogram evaluation has to be based on the first ECG and serum AST on the sample taken at admission.

(обновлено 2012-12-12)

This app helps the physician to execute the Karnofsky Performance Scale examination, the gold standard test to assess the functionality status of patients affected by debilitating diseases. This test is extensively used by physicians dealing with oncologic patients and with those affected by chronic illness. This can be used to assess the prognosis in individual patients and to compare effectiveness of different therapies. The lower the Karnofsky score, the worse the survival for most serious illnesses. The app shows a list of questions to be asked to the patient and finally calculates the score, accompanied with a brief explanation on how to interpret the result.

Height estimator for bedridden patients is a simple tool to estimate the height of a patient that cannot stand up. The estimation can be made from one of the following: arm span (distance from tip of middle finger to tip of middle finger with arms and hands extended laterally at 90  from trunk), upper arm length (with upper arm adducted and vertical, elbow bent at 90 , forearm horizontal and anterior, distance from the inferolateral acromium to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus), lower arm length (with upper arm adducted and vertical, elbow bent at 90 , forearm horizontal and anterior, and hand extended, distance from olecranon to tip of middle finger), acromioclavicular to acromioclavicular distance (distance between the acromioclavicular points over the back).

(обновлено 2012-12-02)

Older men tend to have more body fat, less lean mass and a lower density than younger adults. This application implements an algorithm suited for this population to calculate these parameters. Knowing them is important to investigate nutritional and health status of the elderly. Drug doses should be adjusted according to those. Lean mass has also a striking importance when interpreting creatinine clearance, given that it is produced by muscle mass.
Girth of abdomen has to be taken at the level of the iliac crests and umbilicus.
Girth of thigh is the maximal girth.
Skinfold thickness of thigh is the vertical fold on the anterior aspect of the thigh midway between the hip and knee joints.
