Two editions, one of them free

Academic is available now and costs nothing. Professional is in development — there is no price and no date yet, and this page does not pretend otherwise.

Professional Edition

In development

For clinical practice. We are building it now, and what it becomes depends partly on what people tell us they need.

  • Multi-seat deployment and central management
  • Custom formulary — your own protocols and preferred agents layered over the reference data

Nothing to buy, and no obligation

What actually differs

Both editions carry the same data. Every source in the application is public domain, so there is nothing the paid edition has to leave out and nothing the free one is missing. What changes is who may use it and what we commit to. There is no third, cut-down free edition — the demo is how you try it without installing anything.

We are deciding what Professional should be. If you would use it, the most useful thing you can do is describe your setting and what would actually help. It takes a minute, commits you to nothing, and we won't put you on a mailing list.

The most useful field on this form. Anything specific beats anything general.

An enquiry, not an order. Nothing here creates an obligation on either side, and we won't share what you write. We use it to answer you and to decide what Professional should be, and we keep it for two years. See the privacy policy.
