Title |
Platforms | Description | Overall Rating | Price | Post date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Advanced Urology | iPhone |
A simple app with random urologic questions and facts displayed in index-card format. Information quality is not at the appropriate level for the intended audience and facts/topics covered seem random. |
$2.99 | Feb 04 2012 | |
| Bladder Pal | iPhone |
Nice app for tracking bladder function in between visits to the doctor. Makes performing a bladder diary very easy and allows for the patient to easily track their progress. Also allows patients to check/track AUA score and email information to their healthcare provider. |

| CalcuLithiasis |
iPad iPhone |
‘Ok’ app for quick work-up of patients with urolithiasis to determine potential differential diagnoses based on patient demographics/lab data and what further workup the patient may require. |

| drawMD Urology | iPad |
Excellent app (one of the best I’ve come across) that allows physicians to better educate their patients about urologic diseases and procedures via easily manipulated images and urologic elements. With the added feature of allowing wireless printing of images as well as the ability to email images in pdf format, this app in my opinion is a must-have. |

| drawMD: Female Pelvic Surgery | iPad |
Excellent app that allows physicians to better educate their patients about female pelvic diseases and surgeries via easily manipulated images and urologic elements. With the added feature of allowing wireless printing of images as well as the ability to email images in pdf format, this app in my opinion is a must-have for those that perform many procedures related to female pelvic anatomy. |

| EurUro SiM | iPhone |
This is an interesting and fun app that will allow easy access for residents and practicing urologists to explore newer and novel techniques for certain procedures and may help medical students visually learn about a surgery and anatomy prior to scrubbing in. |
Free | Feb 05 2012 | |
| HD System Urinary | iPad |
This app features a lot of information across most urologic topics, but does so without providing useful images to complement the text and without providing appropriate references. Due to this, one must be skeptical of the information contained within this app and in my opinion should take the time to read a known textbook rather than this application. |
$0.99 | Feb 05 2012 | |
| ICN Food List |
iPad iPhone |
This is one of the better urology apps in the app store and provides both specific food examples and the appropriate level of education to help patients with interstitial cystitis make the proper lifestyle changes to improve their symptoms and make living with the disease more manageable. I would recommend this app for my patients with IC. |
$0.99 | Apr 01 2012 | |
| iURO Kidney |
iPad iPhone |
A solid app that should be used primarily by urologists or urology residents to help patients understand stone disease as well as the procedures involved in treating stone disease through stunning video animations. The ability to draw on pictures of the urinary system is a plus. |
$2.99 | Feb 04 2012 | |
| iURO Oncology |
iPad iPhone |
A solid app that should be used primarily by urologists or urology residents to help patients understand the basics of urologic cancers as well as the procedures involved in treating them through stunning video animations. I can see a urologist using this app in their office to teach their patients about a procedure prior to going to the operating room. The ability to draw on and email pictures of the urinary system is a plus. |
