 IV med program for your IPhone
by

I wanted to share the good news with you. I just got an email from apple, the application is called IV MEDS. It basically contains all the iv drips that we would use in the er, ICU, critical care... I wanted to see if you could forward this information to your membership. The local EMS uses this application.

Below are all the details of the program. I will sell the application for .99 cents, I am not trying to get rich on the idea. I want health care providers to have the application. The only reason I am charging is to get the money that I put into the project back.

IV Meds

Iv meds is a program that allows the health care provider have access to more than 25 common iv medications. We will be updating our database based on request made from our users. The application also contains multiple drug concentrations for the same drug. We have found that most of our beta testers work at different hospitals that carry different concentrations of different IV medications. We have added a wide range of patient weights.

                It is impossible to allow the user to have everything in one application. We have created a link from each drug that takes you to a database that is kept current. It has the manufacture drug label, summary of consumer health information, clinical trials, summary of reviewed biological and physical data, scientific journals, toxicological journals, biological activities, information from the US FDA, and much more. Our tools section contains an amazing list of resources not mentioned above.

                We will continue to add tools, updates, more drugs to the database with our free updates. Our goal is to create the best IV med program using the best features of the IPhone. Once we become aware of any issues with the program, we will correct the issue immediately and submit it to Apple. Please keep in mind that this process does take some time, but we will do everything possible to fix any issues as soon as possible. Thank you for your time, and please share this program with your friends. Visit our website to see other
