Award winning Pocket Body features a fully anatomically accurate human character with nine layers of musculoskeletal content and over 30,000 words of learning content.
Pocket Body is a fully searchable interactive atlas of the human anatomy which allows the busy medical and nursing student or allied health care professional to visualize the human musculoskeletal system through the use of interactive high definition illustrations of the human body. Additional features allow the user to make learning notes as they progress through the learning content, and the app incorporates three different types of built-in anatomy quizzes, which act as a self-test capability to assist in learning and exam preparation.
Pocket Body assists the medical, nursing or health care student learn clinically relevant anatomy of the human body and assists these students prepare for and be successful in their human anatomy examinations. It makes advanced human musculoskeletal gross anatomy content available on demand, while serving as a supplement to the lectures, classes and complementary texts used by the medical and health care students. The app will act as a continuing anatomy resource throughout a student degree program and will also operate as a comprehensive human anatomy reference tool for the health care professional in the workplace.
The intuitive navigation enables the user to navigate from the skin layer through the superficial to deep musculature, and on through to ligaments and the skeleton with the ability to view each layer from an Anterior, Posterior, Lateral and Plantar viewpoint. Anatomical structures in each layer are pinned for identification and associated with each pin is additional concise relevant information including clinical notes.
All of the information is presented in an interactive, mobile and accessible format which takes full use of the features of your apple device, in marked contrast to the two-dimensional (2D) printed pictures and diagrams commonly used in the teaching of advanced human anatomy today.
TESTIMONIALS:
“The quality of the figures and their presentations are outstanding. They are the best that I’ve seen and feel that every first year med student and new surgical resident needs to have this app on their iPhone/iPad. It really is an outstanding program….Comprehensive, great graphics, easy to use… It’s excellent 3 dimensional quality makes it easy to demonstrate organ placement and muscle and ligament attachment.”
Professor Paul Ehrlich Ph.D.
Penn State University School of Medicine
“Very powerful tool to quickly access content and answer questions, in comparison to traditional text books…. iPhones and iPads are becoming increasingly popular amongst our students, and I personally feel that the Pocket Body app would be a great resource for our students.”
Professor Kyle W. Petersen Ph.D.
Emory University School of Medicine
“I particularly am impressed with the ability to retrieve insertion/origin/innervation as well as having an area to add my own notes. The real world movements that are used as examples are a real benefit when relating the muscle with movement.”
Dustin Riddle Ph.D.
Rosalind Franklin University Medical School
“The illustrations are excellent… the convenience of having the App immediately available makes it a worthwhile product for students taking Human Anatomy for the first time, and as a review for other endeavours.”
Professor Patrick Coughlin Ph.D.
The Commonwealth Medical College
“The Pocket Body app is great – very thorough and a great tool for students.”
Dr. Tara L. Moore.
Boston University School of Medicine
“I thought it was terrific…very usable and would recommend it…having it available on my iPad or iPhone 4 made it very easy to use and access which is where I see it being used by students.”
Professor James M.Williams Ph.D.
Rush University Medical Center
“I was very impressed. There is an amazing amount of content, and the graphics are very good (better than some I have seen on other 3D models). The fact that it includes 3 modes of quizzing is great as well, since self-testing is key in studying anatomy…I would certainly use it in the classroom.”
Professor Virginia T. Lyons Ph.D.
Dartmouth Medical School
“A very useful tool for review of gross anatomy. It allows the user to identify structures of the human body and to self-test… the app is easy to install and runs very quickly on the iPad.”
