OpioidCalc

This app allows users to calculate the total daily morphine milligram equivalents (MME) that a patient is taking, based on type of opioid analgesic, strength, and quantity. Multiple types of opioid analgesics can be included in the total daily MME calculation. An alert is displayed for total daily MME ≥ 100, indicating an increased risk for overdose. The app is for use by prescribing clinicians only; it may be of use to nurses and pharmacists. Additionally, it is intended for use in the ambulatory care setting and does not include intravenous formulations of medications. Among the other disclaimers with regard to use of this app is the following:
THIS TOOL IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN: (A) END-OF-LIFE CARE; (B) CHILDREN, DUE TO UNPREDICTABLE METABOLISM AND RISK FOR POSSIBLE HARM; (C) CONVERSION FROM ONE OPIOID TO A DIFFERENT OPIOID.

App won't work on any device, just crashes and says 'this was made for older devices, check for updates or contact the developers'. Seems as though the developers have long forgotten about it though.

Every time I tried to open the app my phone says that it needs to be updated but then never gives me The Choice to update. I'm not sure if it's just my phone or the app itself but until this gets fixed unfortunately the app get one star of for me.

I have had no problem using the wheel. Documentation on the Dr's part should play the key role. I have had 17 surgeries since 2005 and am in constant pain. But if your Dr feels you should be exempt from these regulations then documentation is true key. I would love for the Dr. who came up with this scale to live in my body for 24 hrs.

Very touchy to use and when you clear data you have to go to a different page and return to the calculator to actually clear it before you can use it.

The wheels to choose doses are difficult to use.

Wheels to set dose and days were confusing/difficult to use.

The wheels to set the dose and times per day were a bad idea.
