Resus Algorithms on Android hits 4500 users


Yes, 4500. That's some type of milestone because it's taken ages for the numbers to rise from about 4300 users. There were a few dips where I lost users but no matter - the point of Resus Algorithms is to get those algorithms into the hands of those that want and need them.

The story on iOS is a little different.

In the Google dev console I can see downloads AND current installs. On iOS I can only see downloads so I've no idea how many people are still using using Resus Algorithms.

On iOS there are 4910 downloads. On Android there are actually 7570 downloads. 3000 people uninstalled Resus Algorithms on Android. Can I accept the same proportions on iOS?

I'm going to assume, for arguments sake, that all 4900 iOS downloads represent users.

The latest NHS numbers, from this link - http://www.nhsconfed.org/resources/key-statistics-on-the-nhs - state there are 518864 doctors and nurses in the NHS at the moment.

So I have 1.81% penetration of my potential users!

In July 2014 this was 0.54%. Not bad.

The Power Of Voting - DAS Ascot 2013

I administered the mobile phone voting system at the DAS Meeting 2013 at Ascot ( http://www.das.uk.com ) and I think all who attended agreed that this type of interactivity added a lot of flavour and stimulation to the discussion of the case presentations. These are some samples of the results. This first one is from a comparison between the expert panel, comprised of 7 members, and the audience, 140 of whom responded. Experts & The Audience This was a case regarding a large wound haematoma secondary to C-spine surgery. The haematoma was anterior to the larynx causing severe narrowing of the airway with stridor. 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...
