- Nurses learning ultrasound-guided IV access
- Worth noticing
- Depth Check exposes its simplified-model formula, published-study range, and limitation instead of presenting an estimate as a recommendation.
Field notes
The described lessons cover eight topics and show each lesson’s source, limitation, and review status. For self-review, the app separates placement logs from competency verification: the page says logs do not predict outcomes, and facilities—not the app—decide sign-off. The site describes local storage without an account, server, analytics, or patient-identifier fields; exports, sharing, and user-configured device backups are the stated ways data may leave the phone.
