Pregnancy Tracker & Countdown to Baby Due Date by BabyCenter

Human Anatomy Atlas 2019

Image
Human Anatomy Atlas contains a vibrant series of three dimensional pictures of the human body. Without a doubt the most impressive feature of this app is the augmented reality mode. When using the augmented reality app, interactive 3D models appear on any flat surface that the mobile device is pointed at. Moving the device through the model moves through different layers or cross-sections of the model from gross anatomy to the micro-anatomy of special organs. The 3D models can be accompanied by texts and can be viewed next to illustrations and photographs to help the user better understand the material. You can create 3D fly-through tours of your favourite body parts, or create a library of favourite bits, or annotate certain views by drawing on them (with a fairly feeble pen tool — no choice of thickness or color) or typing notes. You can also search for a certain anatomical feature, get help, or choose a different language (seven are available). There are also 128 quizzes,...

Example of a digital medicine system Photo: Proteus Digital Health The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first digital pill [1] for the US which tracks if patients have taken their medication. The pill called Abilify MyCite, is fitted with a tiny ingestible sensor that communicates with a patch worn by the patient — the patch then transmits medication data to a smartphone app which the patient can voluntarily upload to a database for their doctor and other authorized persons to see. Abilify is a drug that treats schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and is an add-on treatment for depression. The thinking behind this idea is founded upon the fact that compliance with doctors’ instructions has been identified as a key problem in medicine and healthcare. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 50 percent of patients do not take their medications correctly whilst the NHS report that the annual cost of unused medication is estimated to be up to £400 million.
