Motivation Behind QxMD

Physicians, nurses, and other health care providers are using BlackBerry handhelds in increasing numbers. However, one of the limitations of the BlackBerry for health care workers has been the lack of freely available clinical software.

Founded by medical professionals, QxMD seeks to fill this gap. We solicit the input of working physicians and then create tools to help them in their day to day practices.

In addition to creating typical medical calculators that include common clinical formulas, we seek to convert published clinical prediction models into useful handheld tools to assist with estimating prognosis.
