Human Body Apps - Website and iPad App

I read about body maps this morning. The free online website is ad supported. The website is http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/  
 

At first glance, the value of the website may not be clear. It is intended for use by healthcare consumers as well as consumers with their healthcare providers.  It reminds me of the visible human that I had as a young girl.  You can strip away the layers of the body to learn.  The app includes an explanation about each layer.

The app is available for the iPad, too for a fee - $8.99 or $14.99 (U.S. dollars).  The iPad app allows the user to draw on the anatomical image and to share it with others using social networking tools.  That is where the value for healthcare providers has the potential.  A picture is worth a thousand words - and being able to explain heart, joint, other problems has great possibilities.

  1. Beautiful app, that invites you to explore the body and its functions on many different levels; also with a great search function if you're looking for something specific...
