Not sure how much of a play people have had but I have found a few bugs in the NICE app fever guideline section, most notably around the fever traffic light table (I'm a paediatrician so my area of interest!). I have an free  app going on the app store imminently called GUAGE (guidelines at a glance) where we have attempted to solve the problem of displaying complex tables via a small screen. I am in ongoing contact with NICE about how we can achieve some common ground here!

    Hi Rob,
     
    Actually my intent is the "One Ring".
    An app that shows you all available Clinical Guidelines regardless of Publisher, be that NICE, SIGN, the Royal Colleges... from a single access and search app.
     
    I've renamed it Nice, as opposed to NICE as a nod to this.
     
    I had not planned to include managerial content on how to implement guidance as this new app does.
     
    If you look at their app, you will note it is a 12+Mb download. They may have used the API to develop but the app doesn't seem to dynamically hook back into it.
    I haven't investigated the binary to check verify this.
     
    It's end of year at the moment so paid work is busy. I'll try to implement a few quick things but will only really get back to it mid April.
     
    Whilst we're 5,000+ installations ahead on Android, we're still nowhere with convincing Apple to let us play.

    Thanks for marking the distinction in content / audience VJ.
     
     
    Ross notes an API ... any thoughts about combining Guidance and Clinical Guiddelines?

    The NICE app is about "Guidance"
     
    Ours is clinical and about Clinical Guidelines.
     
    No overlap

    Hi all,
     
    Playing with the NICE app more, I see it is the sum total of their publications and that Clinical Guidelines are included.
     
    To be honest, I find the flowchart algorithms in the PDF much easier to follow, though their app definitely is more practical on the average screen sizes. As an improvement, it needs to be able to jump to the subsections of each chapter.
     
    I think, since they have categorisation, bookmarks and a more formal search, it probably surpasses our app and only needs for them to offer links to their PDFs.
     
    The only way to avoid the coup de grace would be to implement the grand unification and quickly.
     
    My2cent,
    VJ
