Back at the turn of the century, a friend and I created the Riley Kidometer. This was an application for the Palm PDA designed for pediatricians. It was an interactive database of age-based normals. A user could tap in a kid’s age and the program would provide all the normal values for that particular child:
- Weight
- Height
- OFC
- Blood pressure
- Heart rate
- Proper vaccination status
- EKG findings
- Hemoglobin
- Alkaline phosphatase
- and 100’s of other data
The program was successful and well regarded. Unfortunately the Palm OS aged poorly and was abandoned by Palm when the Pre was introduced in 2009.
For awhile my friend has been rewriting Kidometer to run on the iPhone. He is pretty much done and we are looking for a couple of dozen beta testers. If you use an iPhone and take care of kids (docs, nurses, EMTs, whatever) drop me an e-mail.
