[edit] Dose

Dose for webOS™, a medical dosage calculator developed with the Nurse and Nursing student in mind, a J@ckpot ideas Inc. creation. We have added another Unit Conversion, now you can convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius. We are devoted to making Dose as helpful and useful as it can be and hope you’ve come across situations in your daily life, where other features / functionality / options, would be perfect for Dose. In case you do not already know, here is what Dose is all about: Dose is like having multiple dosage calculators at your finger tips. Switch between any of them with a tap on the sub-menu. It can perform Unit Conversions between mass units of mcg / mg / g / kg / lb / oz, as well as liquid units of mcL / mL / L / kL, time min / hr and temperature F / C. Dose also provides the ability to calculate tablet and liquid Dosages, IV Drop Flow rate in gtts/min given a volume of liquid, period of time, and a drop factor (gtts/mL), IV Flow rate in mL/hr given a volume of liquid and period of time, Dosage by weight and Min / Max Safe Dosage range. With just a tap you can view the formula used for each calculation and a simple description of the input / output expected. Dose was engineered to be a simple educational tool to assist with the process and methods of calculating medical dosages, and to be “always on” meaning no cellular connection is needed to perform any conversions or calculations. Help is always available through the app menu or read the Faq for simple instructions.
