MediPDA is a useful medical calculator that brings several q&a oriented medical scoring tests right to your Palm Pre. Tools to calculate the BMI, Apgar score, and several other tests are presented in a functional and easy-to-use manner. MediPDA makes full use of the range of WebOS interface controls with some tools being checklist oriented, while others require entering numbers or tests. Each calculator comes with a reference from Journal papers or textbook. A Help button also presents the interpretation of scores and numbers and offers range values for each test. 

The interface is fast and responsive with the number crunching happening with no noticeable delays. There are currently just more than 20 or so tests in MediPDA in three separate categories. Since the app is open-source, it’s likely that several new tests will be added moving forward. While this app will not be particularly useful for the casual Palm Pre user, it helps maintain Palm’s dominance in the medical community. If you’re a practicing member of the medical community, this app will come in handy when you have to perform basic tests and calculations.
