so medical students typically rely on bulky paper flashcards and atlases to learn the complex names and locations of the structures of the human body but this is about to change we've started with the gold standard and medical illustrations the beautiful neta collection and using the iphone sdk we've created an app that is not only more portable but also far more powerful than paper flashcards so let's have a look a student can easily find a region of the body and their view hundreds of anatomical images once they select one of those images then they can easily zoom and pan across these beautiful and highly detailed images imagine doing this on any other mobile device simply select thank you simply selecting a pin shows the anatomical structure and it makes it very easy for a student to jump out to the web and find additional information on that particular part of the body the app has a simple quiz mode that prompts the user to find a structure within an image and provides feedback about whether they're right or whether wrong and we really believe that applications like this will provide unique and new opportunities for effective learning outside of the classroom and I witnessed this firsthand am i teaching a brain anatomy when a student after using a prototype of this application said dr. Williams I learned five new brain terms this morning while I was waiting in line for my latte so the iphone sdk has enabled modality to provide learners instant access to the content that they trust on the device that they really want to carry and it's been so easy to use and coupled with our business and development model we've been able to produce numerous applications very quickly not only medical applications that we're talking about here today we're also bringing some of the biggest brands and k-12 education and Consumer reference content and we're excited to announce that within weeks of the App Store launching we'll have a dozen applications available and many more about the end of the year thank you very much
