Anatomy on the Go

anatomy on the go

This iPhone app was created by Epocrates, famous for their drug reference app for iPhone. For this app, Epocrates transformed flash cards containing various information related to human anatomy to come up with a highly customizable and interactive iPhone app. On your iPhone, this app lets you navigate through more than 350 fully annotated images, view comments and clinical applications where appropriate, and create your own pinpoints and labels to mark the structures you need to know. That is in addition to other human anatomy information that you’ll find in this app. The only issue that we have with this app is that it requires an Epocrates account. It’s not a big deal but it would have been better if the app did not require the Epocrates account. (Price: $19.99)
