【医药计算机】安卓版药物与致病菌app是一个全面的抗生素参考app
Android app Drugs and Bugs, from the developers at Monthly Prescribing Reference, provides information regarding antibiotic sensitivity for a very comprehensive list of pathogens and antibiotics, focusing on antibiotic pathogen coverage, side effects, dosing, and preparations.
Although still relatively new in the Android market, the 3.2.2 version of the app is solid, well constructed, and beautifully designed. Never has the app crashed or paused on me during my use. All the data is stored locally on the phone, which allows quick access to the content without a network connection. Almost every text or reference is linked to its corresponding page, which makes browsing seem really snappy and fast.
Different pages are interlinked, and you will find almost everything clickable. This app does not disappoint in personalization and includes History and Bookmarking functions as well. Presentation is sharp and crisp in this minimalistic designed app with unique dark-yellow and blue color shading that–almost forcefully–reminds that you are in Infectious Disease territory now.
I soon realized rather than being a clinical tool, this app is largely a reference database, more apt to help you double check your clinical judgments and antibiotic choices.
If searching antibiotic coverage based on gram stain was available, this app would perhaps become a useful tool and be utilized much more in a real world situation, especially when confronted with complicated patients with allergies,renal issues, or liver disease.
Another possible improvement that the app may benefit from is adding the ability to combine multiple antibiotics and check for pathogen coverage. This function should be useful when broad spectrum antibiotic coverage is needed and cultures have been negative, which is a common scenario in the hospital.
Likes
- Wide range of detailed information related to each antibiotic
- Clear concise information related to antibiotic therapy
- Comprehensive range of information on various antibiotics
- Information locally stored
- No ability to search by gram stain
- Lack of viruses and parasites and certain bacterial pathogens
- Would like the ability to combine multiple antibiotics and determine efficacy
- This app definitely provides a lot of unique information regarding antibiotics and bacteria sensitivities, but presents itself rather like a database, rather than an interactive tool. There is definitely a discrepancy in information compared to the actual MPR website as well, and that gap limits the app’s functionality and use
- I think this app has potential, but at this point in time, it is rather premature, especially for a 5.99 USD price tag (FYI, 1.99 USD on iTunes)
- With a little more categorization and organization, and perhaps a touch of some interactiveness, i.e. option to combine antibiotics and checking pathogen coverage, I can see this app being an amazing tool that clinicians would employ
