As we get more input from HIStalkers on other iPhone applications that could be useful, we’ll provide future updates to make everyone more productive in their work routines and interactions with patients.
Does any one care about patients any more, or is it all about thinking about gadgets?
Wonderful compilation of apps.
Wow- no allscripts remote? i can’t wait to turn that one on.
Don’t forget Allscripts Remote for iPhone access to Allscripts Electronic Health Records and direct connectivity to local Emergency Departments for faxing notes directly from the EHR to ER physicians (an iPhone native application).

CCD & OK
Thanks for alerting HIStalkers about Allscripts iPhone application since I was unaware of it during my research effort. If there are others to consider please inform us here.
Don’t forget Epic’s Haiku – looked very cool at the big Epic party last month.
On October 12th The Merck Manuals for iPhone were announced and can be found at:
http://agilepartners.com/apps/merckmanuals/
Thanks for listing The Wheel which was one of the first 500 apps in the App Store and priced at $15 at a time before anyone knew the right price for apps and before the race to the bottom in pricing (it now sells for $1.99).
We also have The Wheel SP ($1.99) which does fetal biometric calculations along with normal GA calculations, The Wheel RE which was actually developed as a spoof but now priced at $0.99 and selling every day, as well as STD2006 ($2.99) which includes the entire text of the CDC’s STD Treatment Guidelines.
Our crown jewel, only for those who subscribe to the eNATAL service, is eNATAL LT which allows clinicians to access their prenatal records from anywhere.
Thanks iPhoneDev for alerting us to your other iPhone applications. We’ll add them to our list for future reference purposes.

Sylvius MR: Pretty cool B&W images of brain, 3 x-sections and labeling of various brain sections w/functions
AllOne HV: gives access to one’s HealthVault acct
and there are countless others including one from MedHelp for ovulation tracking which I got a demo on last week.
Thanks John@Chilmark! We’ll add your suggestions to the list. Our readers will benefit from the added applications.
Thanks TPD. Just did an update on iTriage based on recent briefing with company CEO. http://chilmarkresearch.com/2009/10/14/itriage-a-business-model-gaining-traction/
I like that HIS Talk is putting a list together. It should be a credible source. I look forward to making suggestions and hearing what others have to say.
We are a team of iPhone developers that have been building on the apple platform since it’s launch. We’re betting that you’ll see a lot of apps coming out in the next few months which take advantage of the unique capabilities of a mobile platform.
Last week at Health 2.0 we won the Launch Panel with an e-Prescribing application built for speed on a native mobile platform. (Much different than an iPhone app that is made by putting a wrapper around a web-based product)

Remedy Ventures
Thanks for the input, we’ll add anything that mobile workers and patients can use to improve their work efficiency and knowledge in the healthcare space. Does the e-Prescribing mobile platform for your client have a name yet, if so, or when it’s released we’ll add it to our list? TPD
Philippe d’Offay
Thanks for informing us about pMDsoft, we’ll add it to our list and publish it in a future update of TPD’s List of iPhone Applications.

It appears the 8h2o web app is not maintained anymore. Following the link to Apples site then clicking the URL takes you to a University blogs website.
You forgot to mention Lexi-COMPLETE — the most comprehensive and specialized pharmacology guide available for the iPhone; includes drug identification model.
Check it out on Lexi-Comp’s website at:
