Pocket Census is a lightweight, secure, and highly efficient patient management tool designed specifically for doctors, residents, nurses, and medical students. Say goodbye to messy paper lists and scattered notes. Organize your medical rounds with a professional clinical registry that fits right in your pocket. Whether you are covering multiple hospitals or managing a single busy ward, Pocket Census helps you maintain a real-time overview of your patient load, clinical tasks, and longitudinal history. Key Features: • Real-Time Census Management: View all your active admissions at a glance. Patients are automatically grouped by Hospital and Room/Ward, ensuring you never miss a patient during rounds. • Comprehensive Admission Tracking: Record vital details for every hospital stay, including diagnosis, admission dates, length of stay (LOS), weight, height, and assigned physicians. • Clinical Progress Notes: Add daily clinical updates to track a patient’s progress over time. View previous history in a clean, chronological timeline. • Clinical Image Gallery: Securely attach clinical photos (labs, imaging, or physical findings) directly to a patient’s admission record for quick visual reference. • Medication & Procedure Logs: Maintain updated lists of active medications and procedures performed during the admission. • Professional Directory: Build a custom database of hospitals and frequently consulted physicians to quickly assign them to your patient’s care team. • Powerful Export Options: Generate professional PDF or CSV reports for handover or record-keeping. Exports include full clinical data (Meds, Procs, Notes) and are timestamped for accuracy. Save reports directly to your device or share them securely. • Local & Secure: Your data stays on your device. Pocket Census uses a local SQLite database, giving you full control over your clinical information. • Backup & Restore: Easily create encrypted backups of your entire database to ensure your records are never lost. How to Use Pocket Census: 1. Add a Patient: Enter basic demographic details once in the registry. 2. Create an Admission: When a patient is admitted, record their hospital, ward, and initial diagnosis. 3. Round Efficiently: During your shift, update daily notes, track medication changes, and log procedures. 4. Export for Handover: Before signing off, generate a CSV or PDF report to share with the incoming team or to keep as a personal clinical log. 5. Discharge & Archive: Mark patients as Discharged, Mortality, or HAMA. Their history remains in your registry for future readmissions. Who is this app for?
