Dr. Chi-Ming Chow
and Du Yang,
ABSTRACT:
The goal of CardioCalc is to develop a comprehensive sets of Palm OS based clinical cardiology calculators to assist healthcare practitioners and students in the field of cardiology, internal medicine, emergency medicine and primary care to perform day-to-day calculations in their clinical work. Info screens will provide the background and references for the formulas. The normal ranges and the clinical implications are also included. The users can carry with them these calculations on their Palm OS enabled devices. The availability of these calculations will save time for users and also reduce mistakes and thus enhancing the overall delivery of care. Altogether there are close to 45 equations.
The clinical cardiology calculators cover the following areas:
Echocardiography
EKG
Exercise Stress Test
General Medicine
