Whilst we PDA toting doctors are always on the lookout for software for doctors, we should also think of our patients. I do sometimes encounter patients who are PDA users or even PDA enthusiasts and it may help (and indeed sometimes provide interesting clinic conversation) if we point them towards software which might be useful in the management of their illnesses.
Spotted this freebie Blood Pressure Watch which is a fully featured database that will keep track of blood pressure, weight, pulse, medications, medical appointments, and more. You can input various medications you are taking, set reminders for taking pills and appointments etc.
One software I recommend (and in fact have beamed over) to patients is OnTimeRx which is a great tool to help remind patients take their medications, manage their supplies and doctors appointments. It has recently been updated and the company has a special OnTimeRx Healthcare Provider Program
So have you recommended any software to your patients lately?
I actually had feedback from a patient with NHL who found out about Haemoncrules and recommended it to his hematologist!
