ECHOindications brings the appropriate use criteria (AUC) for echocardiography to a fast, native macOS app — designed for the wider screen of a clinician's desk.
Look up any indication and instantly see whether echocardiography is Indicated, Can be considered, or Not indicated, stratified across three care settings: General Practice, Secondary Care Outpatients, and Inpatients. Every indication carries its clinical contexts, the guidelines that back it, and searchable keywords and notes.
FEATURES
• Search the full catalogue and filter by one or more clinical contexts
• See the verdict for each care setting at a glance, with a clear red/amber/green view
• Use clinical decision support — answer a short series of questions to reach the right indication
• Browse the underlying references and guidelines
• Read the changelog to see what has been updated
• The content is maintained by experts in the field and is frequently updated.
SOURCES & GOVERNANCE
Indications are drawn from national and international guidelines (including ASE, EACVI, BSE and BHVS) and expert consensus, and have been reviewed and ratified by South East London university hospitals: Guy's and St Thomas', King's College Hospital, and Lewisham and Greenwich.
BUILT FOR macOS
A clean native interface with a wide master–detail layout, full dark-mode support, adjustable text size, and keyboard shortcuts.
OPEN TO EVERYONE
Browsing requires no account. Sign-in is only for the maintainers who curate the catalogue.
IMPORTANT
ECHOindications is a reference and decision-support tool. It does not provide a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation; clinical decisions remain the responsibility of the requesting clinician.
