Access Workups, Labs, and Prescribing Information… Add your Own Notes… Make a New Brain of your Own!
I am a family physician who developed The Medical Peripheral Brain to allow easy medical data retrieval and entry. The app provides immediate access to complete workups, labs, and prescribing information for over 700 medical conditions. It also allows users to enter their own information. You can reference my notes, add your notes to mine, or make an entire new “Brain” of your own. This makes it adaptable to any field of study..... the applications are endless.

History
Early in my career, I stored medical information for quick reference in small ring-bound notebooks that I carried in my lab coat. Eventually, the notebooks became too thick for easy use as I was constantly adding to and updating the information. They became harder to read and keep organized as obsolete information was scratched out and new information was added in the margins, and there was always the fear that the notebooks would be lost or damaged.
As technology advanced, I transitioned from paper notebooks to computers in preparation for my Family Practice Boards. I looked for a computer software program that would automatically arrange items alphabetically, make links, and allow as many synonyms per topic as needed. I could not find such a program, so I embarked on developing one on my own. Hence, the Peripheral Brain system was born and has gradually progressed to its current format.
After entering all the data from my notebooks into the Medical Peripheral Brain, I was ready for my Family Practice Boards. All that data entry work paid off, I scored in the 99th percentile! The ABFM has since stopped showing percentiles, but my next board results continued to show perfect scores in multiple categories. The ongoing process of studying medical journals, adding to and updating the material in my Medical Peripheral Brain has allowed my medical knowledge to remain current. It can be a valuable tool for you as well.
Now, the medical knowledge I have acquired over the years is safely stored within my Medical Peripheral Brain, and I can’t imagine practicing medicine without it.
