There really seems to be an Android app for everything. There even are medical apps available on Google Play. Some of them aren’t too impressive, however, some could be quite valuable for medical school students and some, for an example an app that teaches you how to give first aid, would be useful for as all. That’s why I decided to put together a list of the most useful medical apps available for Android phones.
The Greatest Medical Apps for Android:
1. PubMed Mobile
Price: Free
Download: Google Play
PubMed Mobile is a great Android app for medical students and medical professionals. However, anyone interested in medicine will find this app interesting. PubMed Mobile allows users to search a database of over 21 million citations for biomedical articles and life science journals. With PubMed Mobile you can save and email citations, read abstracts of scientific papers as well as get links to full versions of the papers. PubMed Mobile is a free app, however, a paid app with more features is also available.
2. First Aid
Price: Free
Download: Google Play
First Aid should be a default app on not only every Android but every other phone as well. First Aid will teach you what to do in an emergency situation. I hope you will never need to use First Aid, however, if you would ever get into a situation where you would be required to give first aid to someone, you would find this Android app to be rather helpful. First Aid is designed to instruct someone throug the procedure of giving first aid. The illustrations, videos and short text messages will ensure that you know what to do and that you do it in the right order.
3. Epocrates
Price: Free
Download: Google Play
With Epocrates you can quickly and easily find information about different drugs, diseases and diagnostic information. It’s definitely a useful app for literally anyone.
As there aren’t that many great medical apps available on Google Play, Epocrates completes our list of the greatest medical apps for Android.
