Thanks to Chris Thorman of Software Advice for providing a list of 60 of the top Medical applications we see on Android.
Please note the software is firmly steered towards the professional market rather than the general consumer.
Having said that the material would be extremely useful for anyone you know in the medical profession.
Software Advice must be complemented on the hard work we see here in this list, determining which are the best applications as there are well over 1000 titles they had to sort through.
Read here for Chris Thorman's list
Also, here's another title by GoMLV ~ Cancer Surveillance
It is explained at post 8 below.
Thanks Beards for directing us to the website
and kudos to Software Advice
My favorites among them are
Medical calculators
Lexicomp complete which i believe includes Stedmans dictionary (atleast on the iphone it used too)
Epocrates
Skyscape
There's a Medscape app on the iphone which I believe is not available on the android , its a really good free app.

What were your thoughts on the titles outlined for Pediatrics as I know that is your field of expertise.
I was very pleased to hear of this complete list put together ~ brought to my attention from out of a lecture I was conducting recently.
Looking forward to seeing titles develop as Android makes pace in the professional world where admittedly the iPhone has that very useful arsenal of applications... and a few not-so-good such as 'AcneApp' where a colleague of mine has written quite a damning paper on the subject and said application.
Whether Windows Phone 7 (which will be geared more towards professionals rather than the mainstream) can maintain a high profile will have to be seen.
If anyone finds any further material worth reading/investigating please chip in.

Beards , i could not try the Pediatrics app because most of them are paid apps and I can't download them in my country , but looking at the contents it looks really helpful with drug facts, drug dosages and redbook.
My heart goes to you in having to cope with these restrictions.
I'm a great believer in that if a tool is available for the welfare of mankind it SHOULD be available to all, no matter what.
I suppose there is no way your local medical centre/practice or medical governing body could sort this out for you and any other medical staff?
nice...
all good medical apps are hard to find ..
Thanks op. And @ the guy above - **** you warez pricks. Get a job and pay for this stuff instead of stealing. Its one thing to want a demo for more than 15 mins - another to steal. What's worse though is that you can't even find warez on ur own. Pathetic.

if you are interested you can also check our new cancer related app: please allow me to desribe it to you. its free ofc.
check it in google play as cancer surveillance
This free app lets you monitor your own (or other peoples') cancer progress by allowing you to arrange and scedule the related appointments, tests and their
results.Place the appointment for any reason like cancer biopsy,mri,ct scan, blood cancer markers test, xray, ultrasound, mammo, meeting with doctor, results receive
etc. Choose your cancer type and record all the information relative with your progress and the therapy like chemotherapy, radiation, drug receive dates, symptoms,
surgery dates etc. This app can be used for any kind of cancer e.g.Bladder Cancer,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Melanoma,Colon and Rectal Cancer,Non-Hodgkin
Lymphoma,Endometrial Cancer,Pancreatic Cancer,Kidney (Renal Cell) Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Leukemia,Thyroid Cancer, testicular cancer etc. Arrange your

Includes a predefined wide list of cancer types, tests and events types (e.g. mri, cancer markers, ct scan etc) and markers (e.g. LDH, bHCG, CA etc) available for a
faster and easier entry but of course you can add more. You can also monitor more than one patient's cancer progress. Its like keeping a cancer related medical file on

I'll add this to the opening post gomlv.
Anyone reading past this you can also find Cancer Surveillance here.
Hi guys, i can recommend this new site for medical android apps.
Is there anyone out there developing or willing to develop voice output communication software on the android platform?
I am a speech pathologist working with autistic students. Currently Apple has the market on this kind of software. An open platform application with in depth knowledge of the needs of autistic students could blow the market open. Looking for an application on a portable platform (i.e. Evo, Samsung Tab, Droid,, etc...) Basically anything portable that an ambulatory student could use.
Need someone on the developing side, I have the communication and autism knowledge. I am very familiar with all the voice output software available to date. Anyone game?

Great blog btw.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
So, I'm in an interface design class and one of the more appealing options for an assignment was to make an application for mobile (we've been given 7 weeks to complete it but need to do at least 500 words of development discussion a week even if I somehow finish before then). I'm both glad this was one of the options as I've wanted to make something for a while now (though I seem to have misplaced my idea list) and a little nervous.
Right now I'm thinking something simple, does anyone have any ideas? This week will primarily be research for the professors journal requirements I think.
I will be happy to answer you
However there is no limit of app ideas, but in a simplest way if you are at the learning stage then I would like to recommend you to create an app with simple functionality with simple UI. Some of the examples I want to suggest here is chat application, book reviews, music app, photo sharing etc
Have you ever done one of these murder mystery dinners? They are pretty great, but usually limited to the one box / set of cards you buy. Maybe there is some benefit in bringing this game to the phone / tablet where you have GPS, camera, etc.?
What would I need in order to make a music or video player, or a chat application?
Sharing data sounds tricky.
Murder Mystery sounds interesting, however as it's a game sounds like I'd have to make a ton more assets to make it worthwhile.
One of the other ideas I had was to make a heartrate monitor with in-built journal. I know several of the monitors on the app store charge for the journaling feature. Alas I know not much about how they function other than they use the camera to measure the pulse in your finger.
PHONE-A-TAXI is an exclusive app that may be used in the event of being stranded. With GPS technology, it would detect the nearest taxi rank for whoever has subscribed to the service. To operate this app, one must telephone the taxi company in order to charter a taxi from the person’s exact location, and send it straight to the passenger.
How you would make money?
The app would be free for consumers but, in order to absorb the marketing costs, the developer could charge taxi firms a monthly subscription fee. They could also utilize the existence of social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. to promote the app to potential consumers. The bigger the client base, the more you can charge the taxi firm annually, which would also be beneficial to the taxi company.
With booming App business people are coming up with new innovative ideas to launch unique Apps to gain attention of keen smartphone users. These days Mobile Apps offer more sophisticated features for almost every category including Travel, Entertainment, Utility, Gaming and Productivity. People interested in launching new app have to explore what features they can incorporate in their app to make it more successful. Apprasoft, a renowned app development company offers an easy to use App estimator tool which helps users to explore all kind of features for iOS and Android such as location based navigation, real time synchronization, monetization methods or in app loyalty and reward programs to engage user, all step by step and generate a cost estimate giving them a better idea for launching a more successful app keeping in view the ongoing trend in the market.
