This is an Obstetric calculator used to calculate Bishops Score. This score is used to assess probability of impending delivery as well as expected success rate if labor is induced. The calculation takes into account prior deliveries or whether or not the pregnancy is postdates or complicated by preeclampsia & PROM. Expectant parents may also find this of use in aiding their obstetrician in determining whether induction of labor is reasonable.

Pros and cons of Bishop's Score Calc app for iPhone and iPad

Bishop's Score Calc app good for

As an academic family physician, I missed having such a tool on the iPhone until now. Its a clean quick-reference tool that fills the bill nicely. I will recommend it to my residents. Thanks!
1st reviewer needs to lighten up. Will be a nice tool for teaching students and residents. Works well, looks great, fair price.
Thought the application was well worth the money. Although when I examine the patient I can calculate their bishop score, i often have patients ask me about their risk of having a c-section. The bishop score calculator is not only a great teaching tool for residents and medical students, i like the way it gives the percentage of patients with that score who will not deliver vaginally. Good value for the cost. Cant wait to get the OB patient tracker!
This program comes in handy when explaining risks to patients based on obstetrical exam.
Cool app and so easy to use! C-section risk percentage a plus!!

Some bad moments

The interface for this ap is very easy to use. However I question the cesarean risk rates presented, and wonder if they come from actual research or this doctors "expert opinion." They are so low that I fear they would make wen complacent about the cesarean risks with induction.
