Mobile gaming app Airway EX lets clinicians earn continuing medical education credits by mastering airway procedures. The app incorporates visual effects traditionally used in the gaming and entertainment industries to create scenarios that behave and respond like real patient anatomy. Designed for anesthesiologists, otolaryngologists, critical care specialists, emergency medicine physicians and pulmonologists, players choose an endoscopic device, approach the virtual patient and perform surgery. Scores are based on speed, damage, bleeding, navigation, recall and more.

OD Help is an app that connects people who have overdosed on opioids with those who have naloxone, a drug that can reverse the effects of an overdose. The app is being designed by technology company PwrdBy for individuals to use in conjunction with a wearable monitor that detects overdose symptoms, and for friends and families to report an overdose. When prompted, OD Help will relay a signal to individuals close by who are carrying naloxone or connect to emergency services.
