Blood Pressure(anroid app)

WHAT IS THE BLOOD PRESURE:

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels, and is one of the principal vital signs. When used without further specification, "blood pressure" usually refers to the arterial pressure of the systemic circulation. During each heartbeat, blood pressure varies between a maximum (systolic) and a minimum (diastolic) pressure.^[1] The blood pressure in the circulation is principally due to the pumping action of the heart.^[2] Differences in mean blood pressure are responsible for blood flow from one location to another in the circulation. The rate of mean blood flow depends on the resistance to flow presented by the blood vessels. Mean blood pressure decreases as the circulating blood moves away from the heart through arteries, capillaries and veins due to viscous losses of energy. Mean blood pressure drops over the whole circulation, although most of the fall occurs along the small arteries and arterioles.^[3] Gravity affects blood pressure via hydrostatic forces (e.g., during standing) and valves in veins, breathing, and pumping from contraction of skeletal muscles also influence blood pressure in veins.^[2]
The measurement blood pressure without further specification usually refers to the systemic arterial pressure measured at a person's upper arm and is a measure of the pressure in the brachial artery, major artery in the upper arm. A person’s blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic pressure over diastolic pressure and is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg), for example 140/90.

top anroid health apps (Skyscape)

Skyscape

This app makes our top ten list for two major reasons: First, until recently Skyscape has been the only high-quality all-in-one type app for Android. Many of the quality android medical apps we have reviewed, such as the Red Book and Netter’s Anatomy have worked within Skyscape’s universal app. Second, it’s available on all Android operating system versions.

By all-in-one, we essentially mean that Skyscape offers health care professionals and students access to a robust selection of medical calculators (Archimedes), periodically updated medical news alerts, select practice guidelines, access to paid textbooks (like Netter‘s), and solid drug reference (RxDrugs) and disease monographs (Outlines in Clinical Medicine).
Users of older Android operating systems who cannot access Medscape and Epocrates will find that Skyscape, which includes RxDrugs, is a fair replacement.

The Skyscape Medical Resources app is an invaluable clinical decision-support tool that helps physicians, nurses, students and other HCPs find the right answers, right away.

Included for free

RxDrugs: Comprehensive information on thousands of brands and generics, with interactions (including multi-drug analyzer tool), pill images and over 400 integrated dosing calculators. This resource also includes formulary information covering 5,000 health plans in all 50 US states.
Archimedes: Medical calculator with more than 200 interactive tools, organized by specialty.
Outlines in Clinical Medicine: Evidence-based clinical information on hundreds of diseases and symptom-related topics, presented in convenient outline format.
MedAlert™: In-context and specialty-focused journal summaries, trial results, breaking clinical news, drug alerts and other information, fully integrated with the app's global search and SmartLink.

How It Works

At Skyscape, our mission is simple: to enable healthcare professionals to find answers to clinical questions fast and provide the best possible care to their patients. Our product is built on 3 principles:

	You need a comprehensive set of clinical tools, including references, calculators, algorithms, formulas, drug information, medical updates and more. This is why we offer 600+ resources in more than 35 specialties and continue adding more all the time. View All Apps
	Your sources must be trustworthy, so you never find yourself second-guessing the information presented. For this reason, Skyscape partners with 50 leading medical publishers, associations and experts in a variety of fields.
	You need to be able to find answers fast and start acting on them within 5-10 seconds. This is where our innovative technology comes into play.

Skyscape resources feature technology that helps you find information fast and act on it in real time. Click on the features below to learn more.

Finding Answers Fast

Sometimes you know what you're looking for, but not where to find it. Other times, you know where to find it, but you're not exactly sure what you're looking for. This is why Skyscape resources can be searched in a variety of ways.

Transforming Information into Action

Finding answers is only half the challenge. That is why Skyscape medical resources include features that help you use information more effectively, perform calculationshow and aid in clinical decision making.

1. Medscape

crazytechnoz rank:1

One of the most anticipated apps to hit Android , Health care professionals had been waiting eagerly for this comprehensive medical application. Medscape was just recently released on the Android Market and has already become the number one downloaded medical app for the Android platform.
The amount of free content provided by Medscape is absolutely mind numbing and seems to continuously grow with each update. 7,000+ drug references, 3,500+ disease clinical references, 2,500+ clinical images and procedure videos, robust drug interaction tool checker, CME activities, and more.

Medscape is a great drug reference app — but many don’t realize it’s also a mini-textbook packed with protocols for disease pathologies — great for a quick reference and refreshing you medical knowledge. Its not as detailed as the famous Pocket Medicine Red Book — but it does more than an adequate job of providing clinical pearls from the most common to less common pathologies. On top of this, the application has instructional medical procedure videos and pictures.

Disease and Condition Reference:

Evidence-based, clinically-relevant information, guidelines, and multimedia regarding more than 4000 diseases and medical conditions.

Drug Reference:

A large database of drugs, including more than 1000 herbals and supplements and more than 6000 generic and brand name drugs. Useful tools include dosing and prescribing guidelines, adverse effects, and pregnancy safety information.
