MDCalc Medical Calculator

EM resident here. This app is one of the most powerful tools a resident has at their disposal. Most major scoring systems are utilized within it. I use it almost daily and cannot think of a more powerful tool than this! On a side note: I wish some newer algorithms/scoring system is included in the future maybe with adding algorithms too? Great app though many thanks to the dev team👍🏻

MDCalc is an excellent medical calculator, with updated literature citations and educational snippets. The iPhone version is stellar however the iPad version has several limitations in function that do not take advantage of the functionality of the iPad and it’s Pro-functionality. I work on the wards and am frequently using many of the calculations in the App on my new iPad Pro with the magic keyboard. This means I am in landscape mode throughout the day. Upon opening the app on landscape mode, the app does not rotate whatsoever. Meaning it cannot be used while the iPad is docked. The app also does not take advantage of the iPad OS’s multitasking features like split-view or slide-over, a huge detriment when I am charting on my virtual desktop app and looking to have MDCalc slide-over to briefly calculate a MELD score for example. The addition of these features to the iPad app would make this a 5/5 app. But until then, it’s unusable for the iPad Pro especially when it is on the Magic Keyboard.

This is one of my favorite apps. I use it all the time for work, and it is definitely a lifesaver. It was having issues after the last update and was crashing upon opening, but after deleting and reinstalling the app, it now works perfectly. Thank you MDCalc team for your assistance!
