| I happened to notice some of your blog entries when I was looking on Palm Addicts. You were recently discussing Palm date calculators and travel applications. Coincidentally, we are a small developer of Palm apps and have two apps that fall into these categories. Let me start by introducing myself: I'm Justine Pratt, 1/2 of Creative Algorithms. We are a husband and wife team. We wrote Date Wheel a while back and I used it to count down when I was pregnant with my two kids. I also used it as a program manager for determining lead time (my husband originally wrote it for me, as a replacement for my plastic wheel). While it's not freeware, we've been told it has one of the best UI of the date calculators out there. FWIW. :) We also have an app, Trip Boss, that is designed to keep track and record all your trip data. We have a major upgrade coming out soon thatwill even better enhance the itinerary section, adding custom itinerary entry for common itinerary items, such as airline travel, car rentals, and hotels. We even added a meeting planning section to this--a lot of customers wanted to plan their agendas for traveling within the program. (I noticed you mentioned planning for conferences.) I recently used Trip Boss when I attended a PalmSource developer conference. |
Well, this could be my next Palm, if this rumour proves to be true. The specs of course are not known, but give me at least a 64MB Treo, decent battery life, BT 1.2, then I might be sorely tempted - especially as my SE phones ( T610 and T68i) are exhibiting some unhealthy symptoms like suddenly resetting and going bonkers from time to time. I don't even mind the external antenna though as this model is a little curvier than it's predecessor and the antenna a bit more stubby and less obvious.| You can find Dates! Ver.2.11 on the web as below. http://www.tucows.com/preview/34704 And I find a comment about Dates! on http://www.lawtechguru.com/archives/2004/01/09_great_date_calculator_for_your_palm.html that I think you found the blog already. Japanese doctor made a date calculator, but it has some calculating bug especially about month and date. |
| Please add a date calculator to the program - It would be very useful for counting number of days since last cycle of chemo and especially days since transplant. Thank you. |
I do use a date calculator myself and one of the gems is Dates (last version 2.1, freeware by one Marty Wilber and I am afraid nowhere to be found on the WWW anymore - email me if you are desperate ;) ) This wonderful program allows you to calculate the number of days or weeks from a particular date, and can work out the future date for a set number of dates or weeks. This is great for what you want - counting the number of days from the last cycle of chemo or days post-transplant. I also use it to work out a future appointment date "x" number of weeks from a particular date. There is even a Datebook button which will jump to the Datebook application (built-in or the one mapped to your Datebook button). It works in OS 5.x still as far as I can tell.
There is one more Date calculator, a freebie called DateToolz written by yours truly. Its more amateurish compared to Dates but it gets the job done, even if I say so myself ;)
The most essential app I believe is Worldmate. This is the jack-of-all-trades application for the world traveller. It has built-in world clocks so you can keep track of your local time, calculate time differences, set alarms etc. Need to look up the weather in your destination? No problem. When you sync, Worldmate updates the weather forecast. You could do that online too if you have wireless Internet access (e.g. via Wifi or GPRS). Check currency? No problem as well since Worldmate updates the rates via the Internet too. Its invaluable as a tool to calculate the equivalent in the local currency. I also find the Packing list useful to keep track of things to take along on the trip.There's lots more like International area codes. If you have the Pro version, you could even subscribe to Flight schedules but I haven't tried that.
Next, the conference itself. I usually like to organize myself way before the meeting. I use Agendus as my Calendar replacement and as you can see in this particular meeting (the 10th World Myeloma Workshop in Sydney 2005) I attended, I've already keyed in the sessions I planned to attend. The Notes field of each meeting is used for me to enter my own notes. Don't bother about trying to input notes with Graffiti or your stylus. Get a portable keyboard. It's much much faster. The PDA + portable keyboard is a much more mobile solution than a notebook which is bulkier.| Application Description: Topics include: acute & chronic renal failure, edema, hypertension, acid-base physiology, hematuria, proteinuria, rhabdomyolysis, electrolytes, urinalysis, cystic diseases, cancer, RTA, drug dosing in renal failure, cystic casease, renal drug toxicity, electrolytes, labs, kidney transplant and more much, much more... |

| I have used Griffith's 5-Minute Clinical Consult 2005 since I was an Intern, and now as a 2nd year oncology fellow, I have been using AJCC Cancer Staging Handbook & Calculator and Physicians' Cancer Chemotherapy Drug Manual 2005 constantly. Having the resources instantly accessible to me while seeing patients has helped teach me more treatments and staging that I otherwise wouldn't have learned. Taking out a book in front of a patient is not quite as acceptable as quickly looking down at my Palm for the answer. Having the resources at my fingertips has definitely helped make me a better doctor, and as a visual learner, helped me learn more quickly. My textbooks are back in my office for reference later, but on the go, I rely solely on my Palm resources. -Elizabeth Cartwright, MD Medical Oncology Fellow at the National Cancer Institute at NIH in Bethesda, MD |
| As a working mother, Catherine Carrigan, M.D., often found it difficult to squeeze in time for her required 50 hours of continuing medical education. So Carrigan, a solo bariatric care physician based in Finley, Ohio, jumped at the chance to take some courses through a new PDA-based application from San Mateo, Calif.-based Epocrates Inc. She's been using the MobileCME software, which was officially released in May, for about six months. During that time, she's used the application to take 12 different medical courses. The courses, which take about 15 minutes to complete, are offered by several U.S medical schools. Carrigan has used the application on her Clie PDA from New York-based Sony Corp. of America to take courses such as "Sudden Cardiac Death in Athletes, "Botox Approved for Primary Care Use" and "Fiber Supplements in the Diet." Each time Carrigan docks her PDA, the software receives updates on which courses she's taken and lists any new course offerings. |

| Both student doctors and practicing physicians say the PDAs are no replacement for that medical standby: memory. To use the device, they say, you've got to know where to start, from the disease's cause to the drug name. "It's just a different way to do research rather than using those 40-pound books," said Gloria Donnelly, dean of the Drexel University College of Nursing and Health Professions, which began requiring nursing students to use PDAs three years ago. "They look up the drugs and the lab values before they see a patient or review a condition." Not everyone thinks the electronic gadgets are the wave of the medical future. Jim Zaslavsky, a fourth-year student at the clinic with Koth, walked around with seven index cards in his pockets, along with a pamphlet-size pharmacopeia and several yellow sticky notes. "I just don't have the time to look it up on a gadget," the orthopedic surgery student said. "If a kid breaks his arm, I just need to know what to do." |
