I've been using Visible Body for 4-5 years now. Very useful app, especially if you want to get down and dirty with your docs. Bring up the area you are talking about and use the 3D view to better understand what your MD is talking about.
I just ordered a couple of the other modules at $0.99 as I am fascinated about anatomy.
The VB app also seems to get updated each year w/o additional payment which is a great bargain for $0.99!
And I'll throw in my 2 cents for free - For the money we pay for healthcare in the USA, every MD exam room should have a big monitor and an app like this to help doctors explain their diagnosis, instead of those sorry plaster/rubber models and body part posters on the walls, which are like something from the 1960's..
As an MD, the issue is that most docs aren't too tech savvy and on top of that, sometimes I do like the simplicity of something that always works. I do encourage patients to look up diagnoses and I try to at least spell it out for them and find a representative image on Google for the curious patients. As for healthcare costs, physicians account for 8% of healthcare costs, and we're constantly pressed for faster and faster turnaround and seeing more and more patients a day. On top of that, to be honest, most patients I see don't really care to understand the details. In short, if you do want to understand more, just ask, I personally am more than happy to flip through Google images or Wikipedia with patients, and I'm always glad when I see a patient so involved in their own care.
Thanks for posting these. Didn't realize all the other apps from the same developer are all on sale for $0.99 too. Only saw the Human Anatomy Atlas one earlier. Normally $24.99 for each of these.
That's odd! I also got the Human Anatomy Atlas last time it went to this price and have been using it just fine on my iPads (Air 2 and Pro 9.7")
Side note, I got the app last year because of the sale, out of my curiosity; I would never imagine that my 4-year-old then (now 5) would be so interested in this app even more than I am. This sure is a great educational resource at great price!

Scroll down the list of courses and download links until you find the heading "For IOS", followed by the courses available and their download hyperlinks.
These apps are great and rival some of the best Anatomy apps. Common pathophysiology is often times included in some modes and the anatomy views are very in depth. For $1, its a no brainer for anyone continuing their education in medicine.
