Latest reviews of CoaguSafe - Antikoagulantien app for iPhone and iPad
The screen is divided down the middle left to right and the important information, what I purchased the app for, cannot be seen. I tried to contact the developer, but the email address was reported as bogus.
I got this app for my upcoming rotation at an anticoagulation clinic and I anticipate it will be very helpful. All drugs can be organized by brand name or generic, it goes over classes, monitoring, bridging, and much more. Im really impressed with both the information and organization of this app. You can even choose between various guidelines! I highly recommend it for medical professions.
