Pocket Census

Pocket Census is a lightweight, secure, and highly efficient patient management tool designed specifically for doctors, residents, nurses, and medical students. Say goodbye to messy paper lists and scattered notes. Organize your medical rounds with a professional clinical registry that fits right in your pocket.

Whether you are covering multiple hospitals or managing a single busy ward, Pocket Census helps you maintain a real-time overview of your patient load, clinical tasks, and longitudinal history.

Key Features:

• Real-Time Census Management: View all your active admissions at a glance. Patients are automatically grouped by Hospital and Room/Ward, ensuring you never miss a patient during rounds.

• Comprehensive Admission Tracking: Record vital details for every hospital stay, including diagnosis, admission dates, length of stay (LOS), weight, height, and assigned physicians.

• Clinical Progress Notes: Add daily clinical updates to track a patient’s progress over time. View previous history in a clean, chronological timeline.

• Clinical Image Gallery: Securely attach clinical photos (labs, imaging, or physical findings) directly to a patient’s admission record for quick visual reference.

• Medication & Procedure Logs: Maintain updated lists of active medications and procedures performed during the admission.

• Professional Directory: Build a custom database of hospitals and frequently consulted physicians to quickly assign them to your patient’s care team.

• Powerful Export Options: Generate professional PDF or CSV reports for handover or record-keeping. Exports include full clinical data (Meds, Procs, Notes) and are timestamped for accuracy. Save reports directly to your device or share them securely.

• Local & Secure: Your data stays on your device. Pocket Census uses a local SQLite database, giving you full control over your clinical information.

• Backup & Restore: Easily create encrypted backups of your entire database to ensure your records are never lost.

How to Use Pocket Census:

1. Add a Patient: Enter basic demographic details once in the registry.

2. Create an Admission: When a patient is admitted, record their hospital, ward, and initial diagnosis.

3. Round Efficiently: During your shift, update daily notes, track medication changes, and log procedures.

4. Export for Handover: Before signing off, generate a CSV or PDF report to share with the incoming team or to keep as a personal clinical log.

5. Discharge & Archive: Mark patients as Discharged, Mortality, or HAMA. Their history remains in your registry for future readmissions.
