DAS, Resus and EtherWare

DAS App

 As usual, I'm a little late with this.

The new Difficult Airway Society app, by Subjective Effect, is out now for Android and iOS phones and tablets. It's free, of course.

Oh, and it's called "DAS App" so you'll have to scroll past about ten German apps first :p

Get it here for:

Android

or

iOS


In other news - Resus Algorithms has now been downloaded on iOS the same number of times as there are current installs on Android, give or take 10 installs. I'll be graphing the stats because the Android version was released some time before the iOS version and it'll be interesting.

EtherWare

This is a collaborative effort with anther doctor-coder and our inaugural app, Drug Cards, will be out any day now.

Unfortunately I don't have the CT image from the presentation. Of the four options (and one "other") the expert panel was split between the two awake options on offer. The audience, whilst largely agreeing with the experts, gave a wider range of choices with a significant number of people opting for IV induction. Bear in mind - the audience d...

Gamification and Education

Duolingo Anyone who has used Duolingo  for any amount of time will tell you - it's wonderful. Why is it wonderful? Well, it teaches you a foreign language and you can tell its working because you progress. There comes a point where you're typing (or swiping) whole sentences and you just get it. It starts to come together. Suddenly you can say "Our cat does not eat cheese" and then "His trousers are red" in another language. Your pronunciation is probably awful but so what? The thing with Duolingo is this; it doesn't just  teach you, it gamifies the teaching. Each lesson is packaged into little chunks and for each chunk you have 3 hearts, or lives. You can fail but you can't fail too many times. It's a bit like R-Type in that sense, and you can buy power-ups and extras (though I can't find the heart refill anymore, sadly). There's even a timed practice that really puts the pressure on. So as you can tell, if you've ever thought...
