Here’s a great iPad app from the folks over at Digital Solution in Japan. It’s called DS Anatomy and it provides a 3D digital model of the head and neck musculoskeletal system which can be easily viewed by students and medical professionals alike.
As you can see in the video below from Diginfo News, by interacting with the model on the iPad, users can manipulate it in a number of ways that are not even possible with a traditional model. It can be rotated and zoomed, muscles and bones can be displayed individually, or even made transparent to see what lies beneath them.
As you might expect, such an application doesn’t come cheap and this one is priced at $27.99. The developers note that they hope to have further additions to this app including veins and arteries. They also intend to create apps to illustrate the eating and swallowing process in the future as well.
If you’re a medical student, I imagine that DS Anatomy would certainly be worth the money. And if you’d like to try it our, it’s available right now in the app store.
In the past we have featured other iPad apps which are pushing the health 2.0 revolution forward. Readers may recall Dr. Kevin Lau’s ScolioTrack application, or our Startup Arena participant from back in February, Dr. Pad, from Taiwan.
