Taos, New Mexico – According to a recent study, more than 75% of medical providers (Physicians, Physician Assistants, and Nurse Practitioners) are using handheld, mobile devices as resources when treating their ailing patients. With this in mind, Abe Balsamo & Co. has set out to provide peer-reviewed, point-of-care medical information to these providers (“Procedure App”, “Emergency Medicine Differential Diagnosis” app for iOS, and the “Medical Procedures App” for Android).

Released on May 12th, 2011, Arrhythmias was the first app of the medical suite that has been released by Abe Balsamo & Co. In the first week of sales, “Arrhythmias” exploded onto the scene and became a Top Ten Paid Medical App (#7 to be exact). The newest release, update v. 2.0, adds full sized, scalable EKGs, something fans of the app have asked for.

“We are eager to help medical practitioners make quick, informed, peer-reviewed decisions that are in line with the standards of care. We hope to provide affordable ($0.99) peace-of-mind to doctors, PAs, and NPs, as well as EMS professionals, when making decisions at the bedside or even in an ambulance. Our application helps to diagnose and treat very complicated medical problems, such as heart problems, in the case of ‘Arrhythmias’,” states Abe Balsamo, president of Abe Balsamo & Co.

The first application of it’s kind, “Arrhythmias”, has already been downloaded more than most other medical applications in the Apple Store. It is inexpensive and high quality, with an intuitive display and easy to use format. The application is updated regularly and strives to only provide relevant, informative, and even, life-saving medical information.

Abe Balsamo & Co. provides easy-to-use products that help to prevent medical errors; errors that could potentially hurt or even kill a patient. All information within our Apple-based iPhone app is cited with links to original and compiled research.

“Clear, concise explanations of the essentials of Arrhythmias and findings on electrocardiograms. A great app for those working in all areas of medicine, especially those taking care of patients with heart problems,” says Armando Sanchez of the University of New Mexico, Department of Electrophysiology Cardiology.
